Be careful at state inspection time. PA requires a yellow/orange reflective side marker at the front of the car (yes it's in the code). You can fail the safety inspection with the clear side markers even though they have a orange bulb. Your experience may vary...

I'm a big fan of the lidliner! Bought one and had it shipped and waiting for me when I went to pick my car up. I knew I had a big roadtrip home with my whole family in the car (Seattle to San Francisco) so that frunk was packed with stuff and the lidliner gave me piece of mind that I wouldn't damage anything.

Full Kline SS headers, 200 cell cats and exhaust. Thank you @LWG for your help! This was a time consuming and somewhat difficult install.

Nice.
I have an R7 too but am struggling with programming it. I like it but am getting way too many false alarms.
I want to reduce K-Band sensitivity front and rear, to reduce false alarms, but can't seem to do it. The programming instructions are lacking. If you or anybody else have figured this out, please post. Thanks.

No. It would be 92 or 93 in the USA. Your ratings there are RON.
See octane comparison chart:

I read that you can customize the sensitivity but have not done it myself, I got the R7 as it was suppose to have the best range and is immune to radar detector detectors but hoping that the false alerts wont drive me up a wall, I hear the escorts are much better in terms of false alerts but you sacrifice some range and the immunity to the detector detectors. Once I use it and if adjust the sensitivity ill post on how to do it.
