It's just a sticker. I bought them to put on my brake calipers after I painted them, but they were too friggin big to fit on any of them. (Despite being advertised as caliper stickers)

Very sweet!

Has anyone purchased this for a non-HomeLink mirror?

People who use radar detectors are statistically safer drivers. Or at least are involved in less accidents. Because we pay more attention. Although I've not had a detector for a little while, and I have to pay even MORE attention because i gotta see the cops with my eyes, like a damn caveman...

Leesha,

United States law varies from state to state, but detectors are generally legal in private vehicles under the Communications Act of 1934[7] and illegal in commercial vehicles by DOT regulation (49 CFR 392.71). Exceptions:

* Illegal in all vehicles: Virginia, Washington D.C., U.S. military bases
* Illegal in commercial vehicles under state law: Illinois, New York (specifically, commercial vehicles over 10,000 pounds (4,500 kg) and all vehicles over 18,000 pounds (8,200 kg))
* Indirectly illegal: Minnesota and California (illegal to hang anything from the windshield with suction cups; however both dashboard and visor mounting is allowed.) [1] It is also indirectly illegal in NY State, pursuant to Title 3 Article 9 § 375.30 of the New York State vehicle and traffic law[8]. It states:

(§ 375) 30. It shall be unlawful for any person to operate a motor vehicle with any object placed or hung in or upon the vehicle, except required or permitted equipment of the vehicle, in such a manner as to obstruct or interfere with the view of the operator through the windshield, or to prevent him from having a clear and full view of the road and condition of traffic behind such vehicle.

* Repealed: Connecticut (repealed in 1998)

It also states in the article (as PBlue pointed out above) that: "The 2001 Mori report suggests that radar detector users posed a 28% less risk of accident."
