Looks like your head is going to block the rear radar antenna

Default Tinted Windows

It appears that your windows are tinted, which I like. Did you go with a non-metalized tint? My local tinting guru insists that non-metalized tints will fade with time, yet I don't want to use a metalized tint which will reduce the sensitivity of the V1 to radar from the sides and rear.

Even regular tint will reduce the sensitivity from what I understand

Default Perhaps, but effect of metalic tint on detector performance is quite significant...

...regular tint perhaps less so.

You are right, nonmetal tint does fade... but at least it doesn't look like hell...
