Default Laser Interceptor Install w/PICS!!!!!

Hey everyone I just installed my 4 Diode Laser Interceptor system along with hotwiring my Beltronics STI-R Radar Detector and have some install tips with pics.

First off heres the picture thats worth 1000 words and $1200 dollars haha.



That came in the mail and I took it down to the lift to get this badboy installed!!! haha the car is dirty cuz its the first day in a week it hasnt rained out here tomorrow my rims come so clean pics will be commin!!! I promise..

First thing I did was decide that the S197 mustang has NO place to mount these things on the back... frustrated I came up with a solution... MAKE A PLACE!! haha this was scary but heres what happend...


I cut this hole in my bumper then touched up the scratches that were there with some paint touch up (never noticed them before haha)

This was the other side with both cords hanging down from the diodes...


After that I went to the front to install those diodes... they were a bit easier but the box cutter slipped twice and I have some pretty bad lookin cuts in the plastic now but its really low and I couldnt see em when I put the lower grille back in





I decided to wire these both up the right side of my engine to bring the cords through a rubber seal in the firewall that was unused right next to the driving column... the cords were zip tied with bright ties for viewing pleasure

I brought the rear ones up through the extra rubber gasket to the right of the spare tire... under the trunk lining...through the back seat... under the running board on the passenger side... and then out this fuse box where I also brought the front diode cords through...

After all that I got the guts of this system out and started wiring everything up with a 2nd fuse splitter (same thing I used to hotwire my beltronics up)


Ok well after all that I drilled a hole in the console on the right side by the drivers right knee and put the switch for this bad boy right next to my hotwired beltroics control switch... Ignore the shavings I took the pic right after I drilled the hole...

So there ya go heres some pics of my STI-R up on my headliner...



Hope this helps someone and that you enjoyed the pics!!!

I was always told that laser jammers didnt work. More or less a marketing scam. For 1200 bucks, I hope it works for you!

How could you get 5 tickets and not have it go on your insurance? You spend money on a technique to beat the cops in court? Someone in your immediate family in law enforcement?
