now this is interesting- I am happy to have black
can I modify s4 so that it has "pop down" headlights 
?
"A white colored vehicle is the easiest target for a laser gun as the color white reflects all colors including laser's infrared light. The darker the vehicle the more difficult it is to target. A black car with no chrome, no front plate, and pop down headlights is virtually impossible to target with laser."

Any metalic paint will reflect a little bit of the lidar light.....
however the way the paint flecks are designed it dispruses the light so randomly the lock is normally not good enough for a speed reading.

I e-mailed Veil last night to ask some questions about their Stealth Coating
That liquid stuff seemed to really help reduce laser signals, like a 60+% reduction. My questions were how much is in the $90 bottle (how many applications on an average car) and if it could be used on chrome trim on grills "such as the Audi S4" with the same benefits. I took off my front plate so that's a bonus to begin with but with the Veil coating on the lights and chrome trim I was thinking a speed reading might be hard to get on me giving me valuable time to stomp on the brake when the V1 goes off. Another good tidbit I picked up in the test article verifies reason to keep the V1 low on the windshield and not up by the visor, like we are all guilty of. According to the test if the laser guns were aimed only at the plate the V1 would not signal from their test distances. Keeping it lower provides a better chance of picking up a beam then up top. But they basically reiterated that if you get a laser alerts it's just confirmation that you're toast. But with the coating in may provide a couple seconds to react. Great article.

yeah, well when the state trooper pulls you over make sure to ask him how he was able to determine..
the speed of your stealth. the fact is, it may be slightly more defracted, but the laser equipment is still going to catch you. your mirrors alone are a target. i'm done, but go ahead and believe that you are ticket proof, and soon you won't have a license.
