Default A few additions

I spent some money:

New tires - I have always been pro Michelin, My rear tires (factory Pzero) where almost done (15K miles) I put on Michelin Super Sports. After a week, this tire is quieter, has more grip and looks better.

AL Priority Laser Jammer- haven't been hit with laser yet, but I'm sure it will do the job. My tuner shop tells me this is as good as it gets right now for a laser jammers.

Escort Passport Max radar detector - Hardwired to below the rear-view mirror.

Window Tint - 35% all around.

Clear side markers

Here are some pics:

Do you leave the radar detector unit there permanently or put it on each time you get in the car?
Is the jammer unit a separate install or somehow integrated with the max?

Nice car btw

Yes I leave the radar detector there permanently.

The jammer is a separate unit/install.

It reads like, but no, you did not just put Michelin's on the back while still running Pirelli's on the front?!?!

Did you only install the jammers in the front? If you did the two in the rear, where did you mount them?

Okay, that's a relief. Looked that way in the photo's but hard to be sure- and you would not believe the number of people who mix em up. One time at work I made a count on the walk through the lot and over 30% of the cars had mismatched tires. Its much less among Porsches, but much more noticeable when it happens.

New tires by the way are always grippier and ride better. When these have 15k on them, replace with the exact same tire and you will see. Long tire life is vastly overrated. Keep up the good work!

although they do need a few heat cycles to really get them to grip initially!
