Sure, the radar detection should not be effected unless your tinted strip
is made of some metallic material.
Also, how do you like valentine?? I had it for a little while, but in the
city where there are a lot of reflecting objects, one signals would
multiply and the direction finder would get confused sometimes??
Have you experienced this??
After I got the escort, it turned to have almost identical range for most
practical purposes and I like the way it displays frequencies of different
signals, besides consting about $200 less.
