    I had mine plated over a year ago and have put 25000 miles on the car since. Plating still looks like new. Much easier to maintain and clean.

    Ultimate Radar Detector

    I prefger a remote system so I don't have to set it up and take it down all the time. I have the K40 remote with the lasser jammer on my Viper and I am quite happy with it. Installing a remote system is not that difficult to do. I have done a number of them in Corvettes and Vipers.

    Does this seem a little STRANGE to you?

    I sent the high bidder an e-mail and ask him why he was paying so much for an incomplete Vipe exhaust system. I will keep you posted about his reply. If that is just a joke, it is an expensive one. E-bay not only charges a listing fee but a final value fee and that final value fee is well...
