So, I have an extra dash clock lying around and have an interesting idea. What if i removed the clock computer and fabb'ed in the front screen of a radar detector to replace the clock?
There is plenty of room under the clock (its pretty much a hollow area i think) but I might have to angle the radar detector upwards in order to get a fit. Another potential problem is that I'd have to hunt for a detector with the majority of its switches/buttons on the front screen rather than the top or side of the detector (since the top/bottom/sides will be hidden).
Its an interesting idea though and I think it would look super clean.
What are y'all's thoughts? Do you think it would have a little more trouble picking up signal if the majority of the detector was hidden in the dash?
Heres a quick picture i made to show you guys whats I'm imagining in my head.
