Where did all of ya'll get them? A store like Circuit City or online someplace? I think that they sell them at Crutchfield too if I am not mistaken.

Actually I was wondering about that. With the V1's that are mounted that high, are they able to detect from the rear very well any more? I normally mount mine about even with the review mirror specifically so I can also get good range from behind me. I thought when I was initially looking where to mount mine I found that anything much higher than that and it would line up with the top of the car, and not the glass anymore.
As for laser, at least in our state the cops have to tag you three times to get the measurement. Something about since it's instant they need more than a split second reading. Usually you get tagged with that first one and you can easily get down to legal speed for the second and third shots.

I thought about creating a tray coming off the bottom of the mirror that I could lay the V1 on. Currently I'm using the visor bracket with the V1 on the passenger visor. I haven't ordered the Remote display yet (I want the modified one with different color LEDs for each band), but I need one bad since I can't see the display well on that side. Crowds me on my visor. Don't like using the passenger visor either since it renders it useless, but I have to claim "driver's option" when it comes between theirs or mine.

I work nights to and its funny cause I do about 80-85 the whole way home on the highway (32 miles roughly) and generally pass the same cops everyday in the same spot. Most the time I slow down but I've gone by them before at 75-80 where is normally a 65 and they don't even budge. Often wonder if they know me by now since I pass them everyday at roughly the same time.
I'm planning on getting one, but it's going to have to be discrete cause they're technically illegal on post. Not that I speed on post...
