    Thanks a bunch! Love the ALPs integrated with the Net Radar. Best setup I've ever run. Love the K filtering of Net Radar!

    This is the 1st time I noticed your OP & the Front 3 Transponders...Important ques:

    What is the spacing distance from the CM (Center Mass) to each of the outer ones. If it's more than 23-24" you will be very vulnerable to DragonEye Lidars (used in FLA & GA) ! Other Mfg Legacy models will not be a problem
    I won't mount in the rear window because it is tinted. I'll be under the car (on a lift) for an oil change next week, and will see what mounting opportunities avail themselves without pulling the bumper. I know how to pull it. It's just a PITA! I am pretty happy with what the front NR is picking up behind me, that I don't feel I really need it. It would likely increase the frustration factor too by lengthening threat encounters and possibly some additional lockouts. On the positive side it would give super sensitive rear coverage and direction to the radar threat, so I will think about it after my next trip.

    For the ALPs, I felt the rear license plate and tail lights were the biggest vulnerability. The extreme slope of the fast back should help deflect a shot that hits there. Having the ALPs where they are also lends some coverage to any reflection given off by the rear wing when it is raised.

    Distance between the center front ALP and each of the outside ALPs is exactly 23". I felt the driving lights could be problematic, so I mounted them there, which also puts them right under each headlight. The hood slope on the Porsche is extreme, while the slope of the front windshield is raked back more than most cars too.

    **Rear window tint doesn't affect Radar reception unless you have Athermic glass which will block radar waves. The NR doesn't have to be right near the glass, you could mount it under the Rear seat headrest & the top of the Rear seat kinda hidden.

    ***Fla. State Troopers are back shooters w/ Lidar guns, the DragonEye Lidars are deadly, especially against White or Silver body color. You best watch your "6" when rolling by Interstate On-Ramps or Overpasses !!!

    Thanks for the tips. I wasn't sure about tint effect on radar. I'm not sure what athermic glass is, but it wouldn't surprise me if Porsche doesn't use it to keep that greenhouse fastback window from heating up the car too much. The tint I used is not so dark, but is VERY effective at keeping heat out. I'm not sure of the molecular structure and any effect it might have. If I can get it behind the rear bumper, that would be ideal, especially to keep it really stealthy.

    Yeah the highway patrol can be sneaky around here. The only laser I encountered so far has been a trooper embedded with a highway work crew (in work crew vest) sitting in the back of their pickup truck as they worked on the side of the road. Was doing 90+ on the initial hit, but slowed to surrounding traffic by the time she hit me again after ALP shutdown. 3/4 mile down the road a couple of FHP cars waiting on the side! I LOVE this system! Will definitely slow down for the on ramps and backside of bridges, etc.!

    Athermic glass is UV coated "solar glass". Thin metallic layer in the glass for keeping the heat out but also prevents GPS signals and radar signals from coming through...

    Ceramic tint is fine for using a RD through it but metallic tint is not.

    Yeah, OK. This was a ceramic tint. I'm not sure about the glass though. More research required. Looked under the rear bumper. I would have to pull it to mount the NR there. :\

    I put my rear Net Radar behind the bumper cover and it works great there. I did have to remove the bumper cover to get it mounted properly.

    Before looking at an Escort Radar Detector you should really check out Uniden Detectors.. Uniden R1 & R3 are the best performing radar detectors for the money.

    Yep. My front NR is behind the bumper cover and works great too!
