Make sure it takes up at least 50-80% of the windscreen. That looks cool.

As much as shblob is correct (:D), it's not a very helpful comment and he would do better to keep his smart comments to himself (:D), OP maybe modified motors would be a better place

Use to be if your wipers made contact with it then it's a no go, and as for the 50% - 80% ones, see a car the other day with one and I'd say it was at least 3/4 down on the windscreen, how people are getting away with it I don't know.

Essentially any sun strip is illegal no matter what the size.

But how else can you let people know that TRD have worked their magic on your Avensis?

Never knew that! Is there a way that you can tint installed on the top of the windscreen instead?
