    Default Subaru Legacy vs. Laser






    Not my car but a good over head view.










    With how effective would veil be on this car, or would i be just wasting time? It's silver i no (i wanted black)

    Im more or less concerded about that nice (not really) flat horizontal spot near the plate; everythig else is pretty cirved.

    Your Subaru is silver, and has a very similar lidar signature as my Camry. I'd say VEIL alone is definitely not enough. However, VEIL will help jammers like Blinder.

    According to The Veil Guy, shape is a bigger factor than color.

    Since LEOs usually target the headlights or front plate, it may be of some benefit to use Veil and a Lasersheild.

    From experience, I know his Subaru stands no chance against LIDAR with only VEIL.

    that front end looks flat enough to me to get a good shot off of, and then its silver to top it all off............ best bet, ACTIVE Laser Jamming, passive jamming wont help too much, unfortunately
