i use a uniden..and i keep it mounted pretty low in the middle of the dash. the middle of the box rests on that little hump near the windshield. it sorta hides out behind the wipers. mine goes off every time it needs to, and from distances of 1+ miles so thats good enough for me...plus cops cant easily see it from the front (around here they will pull you over for minor speeding cases just becaues you have one). as far as wiring goes, i got one of those female power outlets and wired it to an ACC wire, stuck it up underneath my dash and just plug in my power cord. makes it easier to transferr out of the car...plus you dont hack up your power cord by cutting off the male plug. as far as running the wires, i have it go up the side of the dash, and its tucked in the back towards the base of the windshield. its not visible at all...very clean install.

as far as custom ideas go, i saw a guy who make an addition to the little hump over our gauge cluster. i dunno what he made it out of but it stuck up about 3 or so inches...followed the rounded contours of the dash. anyways, he had a blinky a/f gauge, radar detector, and something else in it..was very stealthy and extremely clean
