Default Searching for a few things for my 13 STI

hi everyone,

im chasing a few things for my STI and are hoping you guys out there can help!

firstly - i have been researching radar detectors and as always have made the decision to get the best of the best.....either the escort redline or escort 9500ci.
However...i have a few friends also keen on these but the prices are not cheap! does anyone out there know any wholesalers or any package deals as im looking to purchase at least 4...ASAP

I would also like to get my rims powder coated and was wondering if anyone could recommend someone.... i have specific idea of what im after and would like to have someone quite experienced to the job.

Also.... looking for a good panel beater contact (not for myself!!) again, quality is the key here and they are hard to find in Perth

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Click forums - scroll down to cosmetic....has threads on rims, panel beaters etc, as stated Owen from Melthams is great, you'll also notice under the forums tab a radar distributor that a lot of us have gone through on here.

I have never bothered using other radar detectors have owned my valentine V1 for over 5 years and I only have 1 speeding fine. As for panel and paint stuff go see Owen has done work on my car and cannot fault him sat others have already mentioned.

V1 is proven to be the most effective and sensitive to laser. In WA 95% of speed enforcement is now laser.

It also has a very sensitive rear sensor for both radar and laser (unsure if the escort does)

Unfortunately warning time can be not enough to "check your speed" in time.

I would suggest seeing Rowan @ radars direct (forum supporter)

Laser interceptor quad package

Profit (well... Not owe any money to revenue raising)

Side note... They are not entirely legal in the sense they jam police speed enforcement equipment. (you are going to buy a parking sensor)
