Mercedes C63 with Escort Radar and H&R Lowering Springs from GMP Performance

For cars like this gorgeous C63 AMG, attention comes naturally so it's important to only attract the right kinds. The owner decided it was time to add some additional ticket prevention in the form of a little blue square. That little square can go a long way if it's attached to an Escort Radar Detectors Passport 9500ci radar system!

Discreet, undetectable, and efficient, Escort's Passport system provides 360 degree protection and zero unwanted attention, making it the perfect choice for those who like to run unnoticed. While in the shop, we increased the Benz's sleek appearance by lowering it with a set of H&R Special Springs, LP. sport springs and tinting the windows. Now the only thing about this C-Class that will get noticed is its style.

Parts Installed:
Radar Protection
Exterior Upgrades
Drivetrain and Suspension





Some photos from the radar install




And the stunning final result!

Thank you for the kind words!

We've done dozens of these Escort hardwire installations in a variety of vehicles (numerous Porsche 911s, Range Rover HSE, and McLaren MP4-12C to name a few.) Our technicians take time and consideration with these installations and are extremely detailed about keeping things discreet and "under the radar," if you will.

Average hardwire install times range from 30-35 hours; when you purchase an Escort Passport 9500ci Pro system from us, we throw in 10 free hours of installation, making it a phenomenal value!

Interested in adding the ultimate in protection to your Mercedes-Benz (or other vehicle)? Message me at trey@gmpperformance.com today.

Excellent install! But you should tell the owner not to trust those lidar shifter from the 9500ci. They are notorious for punch through. The new Blinder HP-905 or a laser interceptor setup will provide much better protection.

Chris,

Thanks for the kind words on the installation.

I've heard similar comments/reviews about these LSP shifters in the past, but I think Escort has worked through much of these issues. We've hardwired numerous of these systems in the past and haven't had owners report back with punch through issues. That said, we're more than happy to install shifters from other manufacturers (even if it adds some time and complexity to the installation) if the owner is concerned about the potential for punch through issues with these LSP shifters.
