JR_Rider;14474880]So I've had my 2009 TSX w/ technology package for about 9 months now and am just getting around to putting together this progress thread. I have done these mods over the last 9 months or so but plan to continue modding.

Depo clear headlights with 5K VLED V3 triton switchbacks for turn signals and 6K 28 Led bulbs for the DRLs and high beams. Hoen Xenon Match foglight bulbs.

ATLP grille, OEM decklid spoiler, and debadged emblems

Moving inside the car, my most unique mod is my custom Escort Smart Radar installed in my rear headrest with the display mounted into the rearview mirror by radar-mirror.com. This provides complete stealth radar detection and pairs with Escort Live.

I have also replaced all the interior bulbs with leds as well as the license plate bulbs and trunk light bulb.

My future mods include V-Leds new 5K WHITE 22W 1200LM LED HEADLIGHTS DRL FOG LIGHT bulb system, Tein SS coilovers, aero rear bumper and 20" wheels among other things.[/QUOTE]

It sure can, check out radar-mirror.com. Scott has installed the remote display for valentine 1s many times as well.

build looks great! I've never seen an escort built into the mirror before, that install looks much more complicated than a Valentine One!

This install was definitely more difficult than the Valentine 1 mirror display install for a number of reasons. The Valentine 1 is only one model and must be flexible to support many custom installations. Therefore the Valentine 1 has built in ports to connect external speakers, display, and remote controller. The Smatt Radar didn't have any of these so a lot of customization was done. The internal speaker was removed for the unit and mounted in the rear view mirror as well and the display has the controller built into it so they had to be separated and mounted seperately. I looked at he Valentine 1 also but the technology in the newer Escort and Beltronics is second to none and Escord live is an amazing product.
