I had an Escort system installed for about $2300. It is hidden in the front and rear of the car and talks to me thru my speakers (ie. "Laser Alert, or KA Ban Alert, etc.) You can have it programed a number of ways. For the laser scrambler, there is a hidden button under my dash so I can just switch it off if need be. There is also a mute button. Love the system - no tickets, knock on wood! Had it done at a company in Bellevue, WA called Benchmark that Porshce referred me to. Let me know what other questions you may have.

benchmark is a good firm, but goodness $2300 buys you about 7 traffic attorney appearances.

Welcome, luv everything except the rims. Incidentally I really dig what you did with the back, I have never seen this and it suits the wide body accenting the wide horizontal nature of that beast.

I don't care about the attorney/traffic bills, but I do care about the insurance. We have four cars and a college age son we carry that totalled a car, hit a pedestrian, and has tickets as a teenager. Washington insurance just nails the parents even with clean records. He has been incident free for nearly four years now and we are enjoying watching the insurance rates drop (and want to keep them down).

Didn't do anything to the back - that is the standard back of the 2004 C4S. Thanks though.

My son is an aspiring photographer and takes all the pics. Check out portfolio on his website: www.aaronpass.com (He'll take pics of your car suitable for framing, in a book, etc. great to have to display).
