FAQ Information for Radar Detector Mounts and History
Made in the good ol'
Now
for your frequently, and yes I mean frequently asked questions! And I knowwww
you have some! :)
1.
YES, you have to
measure your mirror stem.
I don't
know what they all are
and they change
by manufacturer and model year continuously. Instructions are on front page. Again,
YES,
you have to measure it. YES, YES,
YES...... Oh, did I say
YES! Don't
call me if you haven't measured it! I get real pissy over this!
If you measure: .709inches to .768inches or 18MM to 19.5MM you need a 3/4, if you measure: .860inches to .916 inches or 21.8MM to 23.3mm you need the 23mm, if you measure: .562inches to .630inches or 14.4MM to 16MM you need a 5/8 mini mount. WE are NOT responsible if you order the wrong size.
2.
NO, we do not make
custom logos for every car. 
These are not stickers and must be machined on. Each one must have a program
written for it. We have the 350Z, (because we own one), Mini Cooper (because we just bought one), and
Generic......plain, no logo, nada design!
It
looks great and will fit any type of car with the correct mirror.
3.
Yes, you may return
it if you have ordered the wrong size, so see #1.
But you will be charged for shipping again if you change sizes, and there is a
$3 exchange fee. And it must be in
perfect condition
and done within 7, Seven, VII, 10 minus 3, days, with ALL parts included. If you just return
it........you will receive $39.95 back, but we reserve the right to charge a $3
fee on circumstances. Please email or call so we know
and the reason why! If you give me any sort of lame
excuses........:)........we reserve the right to charge a 50% return fee.
OUCH!
We do NOT take back older mounts because you have changed cars or radar detectors. That's sorta like taking back underwear because you got too fat for them. We don't sell "used" stuff.
Again unfortunately we
are going to start charging a $3 exchange fee.
Too many people are ordering the
wrong size 
because, you guessed it!, they did
not measure their stems. 
This takes up time
to fix your order. So pullllleeeese, with sugar and honey on it,
measure your stem.
If you order two sizes at one time and return
one because you "think" you can do this.........you are WRONG!!! We will,
yes read that again,
will charge you $3.00.
Why you ask? Because you are tying up our inventory because you haven't
measured!
4.
We only ship Priority
Mail. 
Sorry,
no over nights, or UPS, or Fed Ex or Pony/Donkey Express. Why? Because they cost wayyyyy too much and I'm not
running to the post office just for you when I have a daily pick up at the
business. I just don't have the time to do this!
Sorry.
It
normally takes 3-4 days, BUT sometimes the post office does get slowwwww.
Don't panic. It's the government! 
You know how they are! If you have given me a correct email, the post
office will send you a notice when it goes out, umm that is unless they forget,
which they have done.
5.
Chotis Engineering is my husband's business. He designs and makes race
cars and other cool stuff. But your bill will be under Country Joy, my
business, because I'm selling them for him. 
6.
Yeah, sometimes we run out and ya gotta wait. It doesn't happen very often
though. Sorry about that when it does. 
7.
If your mount is too loose, you got the wrong size! Don't blame the mount,
you measured incorrectly! 
8.
If your mount is not level, you haven't adjusted your mirror correctly. Most mirrors
adjust from both ends of the mirror stem. You may have to play with placement
along the stem to get it in the right position.
And with the escort/bel, you have to bend the clip that came with your radar
unit.
9. Yes, we ship to Canada. It's about $16.00 to $17.00 for shipping. And customs can take up to a month!!! It normally doesn't though.
10. The mount ONLY comes in one color. Black. Please do not ask me for pues with purple pok-a-dots, because it isn't going to happen. These mounts are not painted. They are anodized. This means they will be black foreverrrrrrr.
11.
I answer 'all' emails. 
But if you have an email that needs me to go through fruit
loops, 
..... so I can get a hold of you or answer
a question that you have asked..........(as in I have to fill out some form),..... or it bounces back to me
because you don't accept emails from scary people
,.......
or you have given me a fake email 
.........I
guess you ain't gonna hear from me! Yeah spam
is a pain in the butt
,
and I know that is why you put up filters and blocks, but when you are doing business, it's not suppose to be a
pain in the butt
for 'either' party. So if you don't hear from me, then you are
going to have to make it so you can. 
Causeeeee it ain't my fault!
12. If you didn't get a receipt, look in your trash bin. My bet is it is in there!
13. No we don't give out directions, plans, drawings, or other business proprietary information. Don't bother asking. Patented means patented.
14. We reserve the right to refuse shipping and service to any buyer. We also will charge you a 50% restocking fee if you keep buying these and returning them over and over! or for just being a nusiance!
How the Radar Mount was Born
Once
a long time ago in a far away galaxy, my dear hubby bought me a 350z
for my
birthday............cause I was a really good girl and I'm cute!
Then he started buying
me "guy presents".......like radar detectors.......knowing full well that HE was
going to use them in, uh, my car. Then he made me a mount to put the
detector on, because those lousy suction cups are for the birds. 
Being the
mad genius 
and super hero that he is
, he
made and came home with a Z mount that would make all other
mounts green with envy. 
Soon, word got out, and all the other Z owners
wanted one too. Thennnnnn more words got out, and other people in the galaxy
wanted one also. 
Thennnnn, yeah there is more, we bought a Mini Cooper because they are as cute as a bugs ear. Thus the Mini Mount was born too. Geesh this could go on forever I guess.
So
I put them up on my web page to see if they would sell and that is how the Z mount,
Mini mount and hand painted glass became a co-mingling oddity in cyber world......
With the best darn mounts you can get.
And some famous and great art stuff to boot.
Hey,
and it works!
