Got some black suction cups for the v1 (they were originally for a cobra and cut down a little to fit) and remounted it.
I ran it with the blend mount also and really just didn't like it. I love how flush it sits now and up and out of the way. Also, when in Virginia (illegal) I can angle the visor down at night so only I can see the lights. If the police are behind me they can't see the radar detector through the window.
Ran it this weekend through Virginia and I had no problem picking up the boys.
