I have a Valentine 1 from my past car, and I want to install it into my boxster, but I can't find a place to fit it neatly. I have the concealed display kit and the remote volume kit.

What I'd like to do is install the detector itself inside the rear storage compartment, behind the little doors, and then run the display somewhere up front. I know that radar can go through plastic, but I don't know is laser will go through this. I don't want the detector in the open, in case I leave the top down.

Also, I thought about putting the display and remote volume down where the "batwing" piece is in front of the shifter. Has anyone done this?

I'm open to ideas... Thanks for the help!
