Thanks
Ordered an AL Priority system from Nick here. They're fabricating a custom insert for my smokers package to house the ALP controller.

These guys do amazing work.

To be clear. Not my car in the post! (If you assumed that). They're shipping the system and custom smokers pkg to me and I'm getting it installed locally.

I'm sure Nick can post a few pics as they get everything ready.

Control surfaces and display integration are coming along nicely.










Blank buttons in the console are turned into power and mute functions for the system.














The blank in the overhead console is replaced with the hand-fabricated acrylic window

Nope- I did not assume the LO coupe was yours.
Just jealous. I may have to look into this as well.

I have a fully installed radar/laser detector on already, but want to upgrade my jammers. From all my research, the AL Priority are tops.

Amazing work, I wish there was someone here in the northeast that did work as intricate as yours. Question, since that may not be an option for me I may just go with a windshield mounted 360, any suggestions on the best source of power? I've seen the mirror tap method but some guys here seem to have concern over the power it draws.

I try to stay away from the "mirror tap" method. If you're going to hardwire, let me know and I'll guide you through tapping an open slot in the fuse panel.

However, since we have kits we can ship you for the integrated systems, you CAN have this level of work. Just send me a PM if you're interested.

In the mean time, here are the end results of this GTS build here are Musicar.

For what it's worth, I had musicar customize my console and overhead display as well. They're very easy to work with and they're fast. Not cheap, but the flawless integration is so worth the price. I'm very happy with going with Musicar.

Beautiful work! As a fellow "integration" hobbyist, and someone with not-too-shabby mechanical abilities, Hats Off to You for such nice attention to detail!

Oh, and for those who haven't found this already, check out Musicar's YouTube Channel! Great stuff there.... Including the 2014 GT3 install....

Thanks for the kind words guys, the tech's really appreciate it. I took some short videos of this one this morning before I delivered it back to Sunset. I'll put it together over the weekend and post it up here.

Amazing stuff Nick. I really like your photography too.

I will contact you later about getting a kit sent to me for ALP/STiR 991 Cab. Not sure exactly what's in the kit? I assume I only need one ALP controller in the center smoker for the ALP and the STiR? Not sure if I have that blank above the mirror in a Cab for the display? Seems like another good reason to take a trip into the garage to "play" with my new GTS and check it out

Hi Nick - nice video. Actually I played it on YouTube (Flash Player issue here my end). Thought I would ask the open question here in case others are interested. What do you charge for the ALP/STiR Plus custom mounting kit (front and rear lasers) for a 991 GTS Cab? Also what does the kit include?
