Escort 9500CI or K40 in 997.2

As i wrote late last week, i will be picking up my 2009 Mk2 C4S in about a weeks time. Living in NC with an heavy right foot, i'd better get some protection...

Dealer quoted me $2600 for the K40 installed; All reviews i am reading is that the 9500CI is a better unit...

Couple Questions:
1. Does anyone have either one installed?
2. Can you share pictures of the installation?
3. Anybody have good installation tips and ideally an installer in NC?

thanks for your f'back.

Do a search....I believe someone here had a similar question with respect to which unit was a better choice...I'm leaning towards the Escort myself. Its around 1600.00 installed....

Wow.... thats pretty high on the install. It's really pretty straight forward and you could tackle the job in a day if you're handy. The units sell for about 600 - 700 on eBay, just a heads up. If you don't feel like doing it yourself I'd shop around a little.

Not cheap...that's for sure. I have been looking around for alternate installers, haven't found one as of yet. Don't think I want to venture into the unknown and try the DYI...
