Crystalline 40% from 3M. Not super happy with the color as it has a slight purple Hugh to it. Probably just because it's on a black car so the distinction is bigger. But the heat rejection vs my last 3m film that was darker is incredible. Reason I went this route is I'm not so much looking for dark but more for heat rejection and this offers it in spades.

Looks the 4 is beautiful. I see them on the road and can't help but stare. I just prefer the size of the 2. It's just smaller and tighter but interior wise you don't sacrifice much space. Best thing to do is go drive them back to back and see them next to eachother. Either way you'll be happy.

Your pictures as well as cpt's BSM/CR pictures convinced me to change my order from MW/CR to BSM/CR. I appreciate it, and hope I don't regret it . Beautiful car!

By the way, is that an Escort Max?

Both are beautiful combinations IMO. But I just love black on my cars.

And yes it is.

Im curious too... I'm toying with the idea of some CSL reps from VMR in either black or gunmetal. But that may or may not happen.

Yeah, you are right - they both look good and I would've been happy with either, I just realized I prefer the black better as well.

I'm currently trying to decide between the Escort Max and a Redline/Valentine One. Have you used any of the other two before? How well does Escort Live work in the Florida area?

Escort live is garbage. Its not their fault but at the end of the day its a system that depends on who's out there using it and with Apps like Waze out there who's going to pay the subscription fee for this. I used it for about 2 years but now that I've discovered Waze I just use that on longer drives. Highly recommended.

As far as the radar goes, Ive had this since they came out and recently purchased a V1 for my dad, for his 911. So far I have to say i far prefer the MAX. The only feature that I wish I had that I don't is the arrows that the V1 has. Other than that the fact that the MAX has GPS built in which displays GPS speed, learns false signals and blocks then, and allows you to block signals yourself, I find really useful. Its also much prettier to look at with its nice color display.

Also the V1 is harder to see at night because the lights turn on and flash but you don't know what kind of signal is flashing because you can't see what it says next to those lights. In contrast the MAX displays all info on that nice backlit display so this isn't an issue. I am not sure if with the V1 there's different sounds for the different bands as I have not used it enough, and I know people swear by their V1's so I may be missing something.

I know from all the tests I've seen the range on these two is pretty close and so I'd say if it were my money and I was doing this again, I would again go with the MAX and not lose much sleep over it.
