CALIBRE - Installed in my CLK55 Vert.
Just had the new Calibre installed in my car by MB of Sarasota. Did a very nice job. Display lights installed flush around instrument cluster bezel. Front radar/laser in behind the front black mesh grill - grill notched to allow laser clear line of sight - in the rear the radar is behind bumper and laser is below bumper looking straight back. Very very nice.
Will try and get some pics soon. My digital camera is dead.

parts ~1500 - labor 800 -
Painful - but since I do not know of any decent stereo/electronics places locally - and I was not up for having a high-schooler rip apart my new car at SoundAdvice - this seemed to be about the only option.

It was not THAT bad I agree - a bit more than a V-1, but the set up is great - the install looks to be perfect - so yeah - not that bad - plus it is totally stealth!
My only complaint - is that it would be nice to have a small light to show the system is up an running - per K40 there is no way to do that - oh well
What shop are you are in Beantown? I used to work at Foreign Motors West in Natick when I was in school - use to run car for them.
