    So I live in Massachusetts and obviously we have to scrape our windshields in the winter. On my last toy I had a decal across the top of the windshield that said toyota. I really liked it there with a little tribal symbol on both ends. My problem is when i had to scrape ice off I had to be careful not to hit it. Which I did. Has anyone ever put one on the inside of the window? My 16 tacoma is MGM and was wondering if I use a gray decal if it would be visible behind the sun screen above rear view mirror.
    Opinions....... go......

    I always liked dark tint at the top of the windshield. Haven't done this truck but I should do it

    I doubt you'd see it through the tint that's already there. Plus it might not stick very well over those. Just slap it on the outside like a normal person and take care when scraping.

    I talked to rrentop about white letters for inside behind the sun shade, the might show up as grey through the tint, i never ended up getting any yet but i think these are behind the tinted glass to give you an idea of a more subtle look.IMG_5088_zps0kcduaut.jpg
    Im still considering it, it looks like the "toyota" letters might space out around the rearview nicely
