We just wrapped up a very in depth installation for an out of state client that I thought some of you would be interested in.
The design brief called for maximum protection against Lidar (specifically Dragon eye laser guns) for both front and rear of the 992, After years of testing various countermeasure systems we have arrived at the AL Priority system. This system is constantly updated and in our opinion is the absolute best defense against modern Laser guns and speed cameras. Especially the newer Dragon Eye systems. We also rely on Net radar for radar needs.
The layout we decided on for the 992 would incorporate two RX heads (receive & transmit) as well as one TX head (higher power transmit) into both the front and rear of the car. We used an add on Net Radar package in the nose as well for radar coverage.
Once we had confirmed potential mounting locations we 3D scanned those areas to assist in the design for the enclosures.
We always try to balance functionality with aesthetics when planning an installation. We decided the best place for the front RX sensors would be right above the running light housings. The front TX head and Radar would hide behind our Perspex license plate surround on the front bumper (sadly this car had a front plate but certainly made hiding components easier.
In the rear we were able to hide the RX sensors under the rear wing in the plastic snap in panels above the taillights. when the wing is lowered there is absolutely no evidence of installation. Even with the wing in its lifted high speed configuration it's almost impossible to make them out. The rear TX sensor fit nicely inside the (C) in the rear PORSCHE lettering. This again is almost invisible unless you know it's there.
Once all enclosure design was complete we ran it through some simulations so we could be reasonably certain we didn't have any (punch through areas) after this we moved into 3D Printing. The material selected was Carbon fiber reinforced nylon, this was selected for the high strength to weight ratio and the resistance to temperature related expansion and shrinkage.
The front Licence plate surround is milled from Black Perplex, this allows the radar and TX sensor to see through the frame and also be invisible to the eye.
All Wiring runs were shortened to needs and wrapped in heat resistant mesh loom material.
All 4 Custom RX housings printed and fitment validated all 4 custom RX heads Rear RX head Rear RX head Front and rear enclosures in finishing Perpex molded into the enclosure Finish and painted (Perspex will be polished Perspex molded into front RX sensor housings Partially assembled rear and front housings A negative was 3d Printed to use as a template. this is the only spot within 2mm that the whole housing could pass through and maintain proper orientation for the sensor Dremel it out.... Perfect!!! Rear RX Sensor housing passenger side Rear RX sensor housing passenger side Rear RX sensor housing drivers side all 3 rear sensors showing 2X RX sensors under the rear wing....TX sensor cut out in the (C) I designed a Milled Perspex Licence plate surround that would allow the passthrough or radar and Laser emissions. It has the areas Radar and TX sensor milled down even further to have minimal impact on sensitivity The plate surround in the flesh Rear view, Front plate is notched to allow sensors to pass through Sneaky front plate frame cutouts sneaky sneaky.... And on the bumper.... Finished...Nothing to see here , move along..... Front RX sensor pods passed through the bumper Another View of the front RX sensor pod Front end from a few feet away...... Everything hidden away in the car, The system communicates via bluetooth to your chosen device.
Looks awesome as close to OEM as one could get. All is missing is a rotating plate from the DB5 on Goldfinger. I may borrow your rear plate setup to install my rear dash cam, that sits near the internal rear view mirror (mine is a cab, rear window is not an option).
Shame I live in a state that forbids laser jamming. The detection by itself is not very useful, just a heads up that you'll get a ticket...

That's the least of your problems if you get caught speeding with this stuff in Virginia. A high-stakes game, with a very real incentive to just run from the cop.

Illinois is not much better. Depending on speed and zone, Class A or B misdemeanor, 1 and 6 moths in jail, theoretically. In theory bc your lawyer will get it all dismissed for the proper amount of money. Caveat if that you're caught at triple digits, you will leave in handcuffs.
I'm all for countermeasures, but be aware that a cop can visually calculate your speed and that's acceptable in court, at least in Illinois.

Sorry, nothing compares to Virginia. There is no other state that is as strict and brutal when it comes to enforcement. It’s also the only state where the use of radar detectors is illegal.

After six years there, I moved to the Delaware Beach. Virginia is a nasty place to live besides the cops. Taxes are just insane in Northern Virginia, and add Reston Association and Reston Cluster fees on top of that and you can see the money pouring out of your account. It is a state with beautiful spots like Skyline Drive, but I enjoy driving in PA more. Rt 44 from Lock Haven to the NY border is one of the nicest in the country. For hiking, Ricketts Glen is the most beautiful place I’ve found on earth any season of the year.
MD seems to be okay, but my Cayman getting keyed in Baltimore still pushes it down the list. I was pulled over for doing 65 in a 50, trooper said “nice car” and gave me a warning. That was a good thing.
Okay, to sum up, Virginia bad, PA and DE good. MD - meh.
Amazing. I like how the sensors are all encased and hidden. Not mounted directly. Also the sensors under the wing are a great idea. You wouldn’t really need rear jammers at lower speeds when the wing is down anyways.

...and when you do get pulled over, there are no tell tale signs of a jammer being installed.
Stealth is important, because these devices are illegal in California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Washington, D.C.
When you're doing the cross country roadtrip in the United States, know the laws of the states that you're traversing through. For example, reckless driving speed thresholds vary pretty wildly.

Thankyou Sir, Our thoughts exactly and then if you were ever to get stopped the wing would be in the down position and...Poof no sensors. Would have to be a very car knowledgeable person to even know the wing goes up.
