Default What would you do..radar/laser choice.

I have the V1 in my Caddy, mounted and hardwired to the mirror. Was going to do the same in the C6 but I want it to be stealthy. So I thought I'd buy another V1 with the remote display and add the Blinder defusers for laser. Other choice is the K40 system with their defusers, you guys believe in defusers? Wonder if I should even bother spending the cash, K40 is quite expensive. V1 has been very good to me...opinions?

The C5 is hard to get a laser reading on. Since the police need a flat surface to reflect off of, they usally go for the front plate. The C6 doesn't have a front plate and no flip up headlights either. I think you'll be fine with the awesome V1. Hopefully you slow down before they hit you with laser from the rear.

i think they would be hard to get a reflection back on also since they are irregular.
