They are loaded up, and I will drop them off to be shipped tomorrow.

In parallel I will bring most of the remaining brackets to the anodizing shop.
Hopefully I will have them back by Wednesday.

There are still some brackets left, so please let me know if you want one....


If you're surprised by people stealing things that only cost a buck or two... you should see the "metric fasteners" drawer at my local Home Depot... half the plastic packs have been torn and $0.10 worth of screws/washers/nuts stolen...

I have to agree that the black really turned out very nice.
It does as a matter of fact look matte...

Here is a picture of the red one which I installed in my car this morning:

I think the black one relay blends in descreetly in case you want to keep your radar detector as hidden as possible.
The silver bracket looks like it is a nice accent of the car, blending in with the rest but still standing out.
I can see the red just standing out screaming on pretty much any car color with a black interior, but it also blends in nicely with the red seats...

They were all shipped out on Monday, except for the anodized ones which shipped on the 17th.
You should all have received an e-mail with the tracking information from paypal, so check the e-mail account which is linked to your paypal account.
I shipped with USPS, and they are sometimes very slow when it comes to updating the tracking information....
According to USPS it takes anywhere between 2 and 9 days to arrive, so they should all arrive sometime next week the latest...

I'm in California and I received the bracket and instructions today. I probably won't have time to install it today, but I got it! Thanks!!!

I was wondering, has anyone used their radar detector facing backwards? I was going to velcro it facing backwards and then use the rearview mirror to see the display for now since I do not have one of those handy remote displays. And the rearview mirror does not do much in my car anyways!

Jacob (knucklehead) runs his V1 that way, no reported issues. I believe - Jacob, correct me if I'm wrong - that he called Valentine and they told him it works just fine facing front or back. I'm assuming you're using a V1? The V1 is kind of unique in that it has front and rear sensors. I wouldn't necessarily try it with another brand.

Got mine today too! Nice piece of kit, Mr.C!! Looking forwrd to installing tonight.

I installed it today after all. God, it'll be nice not resticking the stupid suction cups back to the windshield! It was a pretty simple install. Well, if you have a flashlight small enough to hold in your mouth and a stubby screwdriver to fit behind the seats!

Thanks again!

+1!! Kudos, Mr.C!!

I imagine that with stock seats, this is an extremely easy install. To those with a harness bar and sport seats... it's still pretty easy, but as stated above, have a stubby screwdriver ready for the screw behind the passenger seat. I used a phillips head socket (detached) and just tightened it by hand. Sliding the driver's seat all the way forward made that end accessible with a regular screwdriver. Also, this is going to be much easier with the roof off in the daylight, but not to the point where it's worth removing the top.

This is a fantastic piece of kit!! I couldn't be happier.

I don't use radar detectors but that mount looks very nice. Almost makes me want to go buy a V1 just so I have a need for the mount. lol

I think most of the people who have received theirs are on the west coast. It will take a few more days for us on the East Coast to receive ours.

I got and installed my braket today. Simple and looks great. I have one concern. I have a valemting so the front looks back and the back looks front. I can see it in the rear view mirror and it is right by my ear. Great, but it looks a little low for out the back pick up. I havent driven it yet. Either way it is a good thing. Thanks for coming up with this.
