My fear if I don't get both front and back protection is a popo who's sitting on a freeway on-ramp and hitting folks from the rear. If you have plenty of people around you I'm assuming the radar detector should pick it up? But if there's no one around you and he hits you I'm assuming you'd be SOL?

Any idea how hard of an install it would be on one of our 1 series? I'd more than likely pay an installer to do it. I'm debating swapping out grills sometime in the future, I'm assuming I could fairly easily unmount / remount them assuming I pay close attention to where they are installed.
That is the exact reason I went with quads instead of duals. Never know when a cop is hitting people in the rear instead of the front. I've had my V1 for a few years now and picking up Laser is really random because I don't think it travels exactly like radar so it seems to be difficult for radar detectors to pick it up.
