The ZR4 shifters look too low to be effective. They appear to be more than 18" from the headlights which makes them less effective, but seem to cover the fog lights appropriately. I wonder why they went with the 9500ci instead of the Beltronics STiR plus radar detector with either Blinder, Laser Interceptor or Anti Laser shifters. These three are much better rated against the laser guns that LEO's use.

Thank you for your opinion. However those are not ZR4 shifters. These are the ones included in a special package that Escort creates for us with the 8500CI model. After each installation we have a special test tool for the laser deffusers to make sure they work properly before a car leaves the shop.

BTW...Escort owns Beltronics.

That is very interesting. I have spoken to Escort about upgrades/updates to the ZR4 shifters, but they always tell me that no new shifters are presently planned. If they make a custom shifter for you guys, I wonder why they won't release it for the general public? I hope these new shifters are effective against the LTI TruSpeed/Ultralyte/Marksman and Kustom ProLaser III laser guns that the CHP employ.
 
I don't want to seem overly critical, but that isn't the greatest wrap job.

My Tesla was my very first attempt at wrapping, and I did a better job.

For instance, the area around the "T" on the nosecone. It looks like multiple pieces of vinyl were used. It was fairly easy as a first-timer to wrap that entire chrome trim piece with a single strip of vinyl.
