that's a nice looking install. how much do you think a shop would charge for a 10% tint strip at the top of your windshield? IMO it would look great and make the V1 install stealth.
thx..eh not that much and i was actually thinkin about doin that...stealth :cool:
+1. That'd be sweet.Quote:

Boooooooooo !!!!!!! I hate Evos!!!:dirol:

Bad thing about Evo's is the cops pull you over anyway!

Hockey Im dissapointed in you! That ez-pass needs to go on the lower part of your windshield. They look so ugly, because there so noticible. I put mine behind the inspection sticker in the middle of the window. You can't see it. I hate them because there are so noticble.
But everything looks sweet, I love everything but that. But you do need a tint strip, it makes the car look better and you deffinatly need to cover all of your stuff at the top of your windshield up too.
Actually, get a visor strip from fxdecals.com You can get a visor strip of any color, plus any word/characters you want in another color. Since my car is all black I decided to do all accents in carbon fiber. So i got flat black tint strip, with AMG in carbon fiber in the middle. It look so bad a**.
Deffinatly get it, and its only 35.00 i think. Plus I was going to get some racing decals on each side of my door from there.
I reccommend everybody check them out, because they have a hole bunch of different things to make your car look one of a kind. I think everybody would find something they would like. Plus so many different colors and even one off like carbon fiber and crap.
Peace
yea i would hate it if my evo had 1000ft+ PT's :D lol jk jk i am just rele good at shootin a pl III and yea i will take this tint strip into considerationQuote:

ha thx.... i was up in mass this weekend for a hockey tournament...but i think il be up in maine sometime this summer....where exactly in maine are u? portland?
Very nice install, and I have a question about the tint suggestion...
I have a top tint strip on my windshield, would this interfere with the V1 or can it detect right through it okay? Also you've got it very high up, do you think it hurts the rear detection any? I was thinking of getting the rearview mirror mount I saw on feEbay.
Tint will only interfere if it's metallic. I have metallic tint all around on my '05, non metallic on my '03 ... difference is very small honestly.Quote:

Yes, it very definitely does. I have proven it time and time again. My V1 is mounted on my passenger sun visor, and my rear LIs will be screaming bloody murder while my V1 is silent for hundreds of feet. It doesn't always work that way, but more often than not, it does.Quote:

It just doesn't give you any real benefit not offered by other, less obtrusive means.Quote:

Ah, cool. So I would want to install near the lower edge of the tinted part I guess. In the center there is also kind of a dot-matrix style tint, around the rear-view.Quote:

That's the theory. However, in actual practice, that only bears out past 500 feet. At around 500 feet and below, the roof line blocks out rear laser. And since most rear shots are close distance from on-ramps and overpasses, it's not a good thing.Quote:
