How to create the ultimate stealth Z!!??

Didn't read the whole post and this is just a somewhat related question:

(and maybe more for AK than others)

In my RSX, I ran a straight cord up from the dash around the windshield (behind the plastic molding) and over to the rear-view mirror where the connector popped out and I plugged it into my Escort 8500. The windshield caps are so pathetic that I used silicone inside the cups to "glue" it to the glass and keep it stuck there right above the mirror.

Looking to mount the Escort in my Z, of course and I see there is this matrix of black dots around that area of the windshield. GRRRRR !!!

So, teh question:

Where are you guys mounting your detectors? I can tell you right now, I don't fancy the look of an exposed cord on my dash at all.

Goop or Shoe Goo is the ultimate semi-permanent adhesive. It will stick pretty much anything to anything and you can usually slowly pry the two piece apart depending on the strenght of both pieces. You only need a thin film and you can usually use tape to clamp most bits on with.

You can buy a custom made detector bracket that attaches to the rear view mirror.
