It also has better range and has no issues with BSW since it is mounted at the front of the car.

Laser units won't be effective behind the grille. You have three options:

1) Place them on the edge of the upper lip of the lower intake. If you do this you will need HP sensors, and they must stick out a little. They cannot be recessed or you will get readings on the bonnet. This placement can cause issues if you have installed a clear bra.

2) Place them in the grille vertically. This requires either BMW sensors or HP sensors.

3) For ultimate protection, do 2 and put additional regular sensors in your foglight intake area - i.e. 4 sensors on front, 2 HP and 2 regular or 2 BMW and 2 regular.

Rear diodes should go on the lip above the license plate as wide as possible. The diffuser is too low. It can be mounted without drilling any holes and is actually quite subtle.

I don't post pics online of my install. But I have tested it against 6 laser guns now and it is invincible for most purposes.

+1

STIR+ if going with concealed unit. If you are going with window mounted Redline would probably be the choice as it has custom sweeps as well.
