The article says that even the best radar/laser detectors do not really work with cops using the latest laser detectors. Sure, your detector goes off but its too late. Guy says the most you can do is reduce the reflective surfaces that lasers are aimed at, generally, the license plate/front area.

They look ugly but if they can help?

I can picture this is Mr.ZeeBabar in the Z tomorrow.....

I had an LI on my 350z and it was MONEY.

The few times where I wasn't quick enough to slow down and turn it off so the LEO could get a legal reading I just enjoyed watching him tap his laser gun trying to figure what happened.

A black thong keeps them from getting you from behind.

To the OP, try it out. Put a black bra on your car and fly down the road. Just not my fault when

a) you get your license taken away
b) the bra scratches the crap out of your paint
