I may get just the K-40 Calibre front and rear radar detector w/o the lazer diffuser since I don't use a front plate for it to attach to.

It's there right now. I went with the laser diffusers but I'm not sure how well they'll do. As another here noted however anything is better than a court appearence. The front will be mounted in the central opening for the 3rd radiator. Though as I mentioned previously they usually aim for the headlight since it's quite reflective.
It's gonna be about $1800 total. I'm mounting the led's on the base of the A-pillar, out of the way but easy to see without taking my eyes off the road. I don't like holes in the dash either.
I'll let you know...

Anyone want to own up as the owner of one of the above?

Absolutely, Spar. I can't always flash the Boxsters though; there's too many of them in the western 'burbs...
Then again, if I could actually spend a few days at home, I could drive the C4S. I'm on my way back from Salzburg (this message brought to you from 36,000 ft, just south of Godthab, Greenland - via Lufthansa WiFi!) - back home tonight, out to Dallas tomorrow for a freaking week... this job is kicking my butt.
I'd love to join in the "Air and Water Show", anytime after the middle of May.

Well, Chgo guys I just joined Autobahn CC in Joliet. I can bring guests at $150 each for the day.
If a few or more are interested, perhaps we can set up an "event" at the track. It definately will give you a chance to wring it out. In fact, since we all recently bought our cars, maybe I can contact the regional Porsche Guy and get some sponsership of some sort.
If interested, send me a private email with a contact number.
