[QUOTE="blair223, post: 12198533, member: 134111"] Myfast70, here's some info on my install you PM'd me for. I like the flush mount stuff Dadz500 did. May have to do some improvements once I finish upgrading my workshop. I installed the 9500ci in my 2013 GT500 just after I got it in June. Really like having it built in. Has great range and lots of cool features. Sometimes get false detects on the laser shifters. In one case I think it was a the high end luxury car behind me that probably had parking assist or some other light based distance sensor. Have also had it false with the sun directly ahead or behind and low on the horizon. Does not happen often so overall very happy with it. I mounted the front laser shifters on the grill opening. The built in clamps worked perfectly. No drilling. The radar sensor did require holes to be drilled in the sheet meta in front of the radiator but it hidden with the radiator cover. I ran all the wires for the front sensors along the driver side and through an unused rubber plug on the firewall. Super easy to reach. I located the main processor box along the driver side to the left of the pedals. Plenty of room for extra cables which is handy since everything gets connected to that box. I was able to run all cables without removing any trim. just stuffed the wire underneath. The only wire I had trouble with was the dash display. Could not stuff it in the crack between the dashboard face and top piece. When I went in to the dealer for my first oil change I asked for a quote to have them route it for me and they just did it for free during the oil change. A few photos of the install. Did not have time to clean off the bugs so please excuse the mess.
