If you don't get the top rated radar detectors, you'll gonna want to throw it out the window with falsies and warnings that are too late.

The warnings on the sunvisors don't bother me. I never noticed them there.

The problem with their suction cup mount is that if the car sits out in the hot sun, the cup will come off the windshield. After a number of these, I bought the Blendmount for it.

I suppose anything added or changed with aftermarket part(s) that did not come on the car could be considered a mod.
License frames, decals, tinted windows, emblems/badges, etc... are those mods?
This is a never ending controversy at some car shows when classing the vehicles.

IMHO - disregarding all of the other parts, swapping out mats is definitely not in the mod column I was on a BMW X5 site a few years ago and the discussion was about wiper blades "mods", i **** you not.

Isn't 'mod' short for modifications? If it's not OEM, it's a mod.

For me, it was a REAL shift **** as I've been using in all my other cars--all exactly alike- for the last quarter-century, bar none!!! That single change made it feel like it was mine.
