my radar detector is hooked directly into my fuse box. I cut the cig adapter off spliced the wires added a fuse and connector (lil two pronged thing to the hot wire. please excuse my overly technical description) plugged the hot directly into an open 15v fuse under my driver side kick pannel and just grounded the other wire to the driver side firewall grounding bolt. and as for my gps and sirius. like i said i removed my ash tray cause I do not smoke in my car. mounted my sirius were that used to be and d/c my cig lighter. installed a 3 pronged one and left it in the cavity.. no wires are showing anywere. looks nice and flush with my dash. out of sight out of mind.. stock professional the way i like it.

im only 2 years older then you.

the hardest and smartest part was just adding a fuse. I hate seeing wires I hate things plugged into my cig lighter.

yea total install time.. 1/2 beer. and the fuse and a bunch of wires and things costs under 5 dollars,

if your talkin like normal fuses used in the fuse box i have a shit load of em lol. aww so 85 was a good year then? lol. my 85 supra was pretty powerful... course not like my 87

but my 87 will be more powerful soon enough... someone at my work wants to race lol. they got a 07 VOLVO S40.. stock there power and torque is a lil more then what 87 supra is stock. but not by much with that turbo though argh. stupid volvo and there stupid turbo t5's

Just my 2p on the paint (and entirely my own biased opinion), but I think black is the only colour for an MA70. Plain black like stock's fine but BMW DiamantSchwartzMetallik is just gorgeous!

Oh, a couple of pics of the reason for my bias...

i do agree that black is the best color for having smoked out side markers and clear signals. also cool for tint.
