Windshield Banner
2005 SD they have a SUPERDUTY decal across the windshield and after I installed Auto Meters triple gauge pod above the reaview mirror you really cant see the SUPERDUTY decal anymore, I was thinking about getting a SUPERDUTY banner on the windshield. What do you guys think?
Anyone know where I can get one that has a solid background with the letters red in color?
Thanks ~Gage~

You mean the dots?

Aren't they more for people OUTSIDE of the truck to see?

LMAO!!! Guys, the dots are there to assist in defrosting. BLACK dots absorb the heat quickly and help warm the windshield.

Honestly....can anybody REALLY read the Super Duty in black dots from the outside from any reasonable distance...no, not really.

Gage, IMO, it depends on the color of your truck.

I put white vinal over mine on the inside and trimmed it to the edge of the dots then tinted over the whole area about 8 inches down. made it stand out.
