Since my S6 is 'arrest me' red, i got the Passport Max. Stupid expensive, but i have had a radar detector my whole life. This one rocks. The mount is very large and you have to hardwire it in. That is my project this weekend.

I'm going to have to rely on the max speed alert .... since Virginia doesn't allow radar detectors.

Better yet, just avoid Virginia.

There's more than 20 things that constitute "Reckless Driving" down there (a Class 1 Misdemeanor), including driving 81 MPH, not to mention several others which are really vague or subjective.

Hey Jason,

Congrats! Amazing color. Are the blacked out taillights an option for the 2016 model? Or is that aftermarket? Looks sharp, I'm thinking about doing it on my 2014 black

Hard to avoid Virginia when I live right in the middle of it ... and not to mention the front license plate requirement!!

Two new photos at the bottom of the album. One of the car after a mild paint correction on the hood, roof, and rear deck, plus a complete Opti-Coat. Another of the 4.0T with the engine cover removed.

What is everyone doing to plug in a radar detector before hardwiring? the only port seems to be in the center console all the way back at seat back level.

like to have that car.
with that color I'll get caught fast.
radar detector as an option I think is worth it.
