I can just imagine this thing being SUPER annoying at about 5:00 pm when the sun is at the same angle as a traffic light would be if I pulled up too far. Concentrated sunlight burning out my eyeballs doesn't sound like a good mod to me.

Maybe if I saw one in person I'd be convinced.

Years ago my brother had a Samurai with a torn soft top. His redneck fix was to strap his John boat to the roof. He had to pull up to intersections at an angle to see it.

Most lights in Vegas have lower corner lights as well as overhead.

I too have to lean forward or back to see the light (6'1") however I'd never stick one of those things on my windshield. just my opinion...

I've gangster leaned since I learned to drive my mom's minivan so this hasn't been a problem. My girlfriend acted like the world was ending because she couldn't see the light.

That thing stuck on the windshield near my line of sight would bug me more than leaning forward to see the stoplight.
