EDIT:it will be cool if you change the color on the bulbs too and use one of those covers they use to cover the wires on auto dim mirrors to cover the wire on the redar detector

That's pretty gangster bro. Wait, shouldn't your car be fast if you have to go through all of that? Don't get all bent out of shape, just a joke.

i could of easily changed out the LEDs to my color choice but figured these were just fine. plus all the other leds i have have too high of an MCD rating so it would prob blind the crap out of me...

Looks good. I did the same in my Maxima, and then the G when I got it. I just didn't get as custom as you. But it gives me some ideas...

up here you're screwed without a jammer - sob cops don't have their radars on most of the time - they learned to clock you when they think you're going too fast, i threw my plain detector away after i got caught on the i-state.

Nicely done! I love how you used that space in the dash for the control switch, but I've seen cars that have radar built in - there's a little sensor in the front bumper and one in the back hidden above the license plate. Inside it looks almost exactly like your dash setup - but with no window mounted dar needed.

Edit: I believe it was the Mitsubishi 3000GT that I saw with a built in dar.

I think that the fastest max was 11 sec. Are you going to beat that?
