Remote Radar

I am thinking of fitting a remote radar detector. The Whistler 3300 looks nice. I would fit the remote radar antenna behind the grill. It's better up high I know, but the remote antenna unit is too bulky to mount discreetly anywhere else.

However, the laser sensor it comes with is recommended for interior fitting behind the screen[because the lens looks fore and aft] Not being bothered about rear protection, I would prefer to put it near the number plate where the gun is aiming. However, the model is not listed as waterproof, and recommended for interior fit with a measly 9' of cable.

My idea is it should work fitted into that crescent shaped bit of plastic across the front grill, and could be sealed into it in a waterproof fit. Anybody any idea if the lens will be able to discern the signal through the plastic??
