Any thing we can do to lower our cars radar signature?

One could always remove the front license plate. Removing such a reflective surface should help reduce the radar signature somewhat.

Radar is used to map topography. Removing your license plate isn't going to help. Beside's, the flat surface is unlikely to reflect directly back to the radar gun, so you'd be better off covering your car with license plates.

doesnt work.. the beam shot by LE is very small and tight and fired like a laser gun..
its not a broad band radar like air radar is..
when a cop uses radar he is targeting a very small area of your car
and mythbusters tried that as well =) doesnt work.

I'm not saying that removing it would make your car stealth, just that the radar signature would be reduced insignificantly.
