Anti Laser Plate Cover?

Anybody ever use one of these: www.redlineauto.com

Do they work?

Sometimes you can't hit the brakes fast enough with a Valentine 1.

Nah they're a waste of money. Although the plate is the most reflective part on the front of your car the officer is just aiming it at your car - he doesn't have a scope so he can aim it at the plate. There have been tests conducted in Motor Trend that show these covers making no difference (I got a lidar ticket w/ a detector and I have NO front plate)

The euro HID's were purchased from Steve (MBenzNL) s_krabbenborg.com

The blue interior - if you're referring to the neon - they're just 10" neon tubes mounted under the dash and wired to a switch - available at Pep Boys, or various online outlets. If you were referring to the blue illuminated sills, they were purchased from formymercedes.com

The HID high beams are basically an H7 HID retrofit kit by Hella that was installed to replace the halogen high beam bulbs. This was purchased from my friend's shop in Glendale, CA (BBT Motorsports)

Very nicely rigged up, Josh. I love the look inside and out.
