how do you conceal a radar detector while still getting optimal detection? the most I did was have a hardwire going from my fuse box (below and to the left of the steering wheel) along the bottom of the windshield/defroster and to the center of the windshield.
that was mostly to get rid of the wire but not to conceal it from cops. I keep it prominently displayed for max detection because i know for the most part that if i get pulled over, i'm going to get a ticket.

Thieves are also a good reason for concealment (you could always put it away every time you use it, I guess). I think the best way to conceal it without compromising any signal detection is either a rear-view mirror modification, or mounted under the visor. Not much else you can really do.
