I figured I would get some kind of response...even if abuse! lol

Welcome to the wacky world of (potential) RS ownership.

It's probably taking so long to elicit responses as its Friday night here (in England) and most of the usual suspects will be on their way out to the pub !

Not to mention the amount of time it takes to read the list of mods on the beemer !

I don't suppose your plan is to just leave the RS stock then ?

"Headlamps, Escort SRX radar/laser system. " ???

Whats this about, do You have a jammer system in the Headlamps ?

Have You got an RS lined up to relace the Beemer ?

Looking forward to seeing what You plan to do to an RS6.

Cheers, Rich.

Rich, thanks for the kind words.

I have an Escort SRX radar/lidar system--it's a high quality radar detector on the X, K, and Ka bands, and it also renders laser speed detection impossible both from the front and the rear. The system is fully integrated into the car, with control module in the headliner and scrambling modules in the front bumper and rear plate holder.

The headlamps are listed because they're upgraded to BMW xenon projectors; they were originally halogen.

No plans to buy an RS6 at the moment, but you never know, when I get a little more money set aside...
