Hood Scoop Glare - Different Option?

There's been a lot of talk about hood scoop laser beams burning folks' eyeballs. I have to dodge it myself from time to time. I'm wondering: has anyone tried placing a small rectangle of dark window tint in the right spot on the inside of the windshield to reduce that glare?

You probably didn't think this through did ya? I don't think anyone is going to want a random dark tint square in the middle of their windshield.

I ordered a hood scoop decal from ebay that should be here soon. That's the easiest option.

The tint rectangle would probably have to be larger than expected to address all possible sun positions and angles that cause glare. I think a dark piece of tint on the windshield would almost be as annoying as the glare. Eliminate the source with matte vinyl and be done with it.

I did. As I sit looking out my windshield, I see the scoop, among other things. That’s all I’m interested in blocking, so it wouldn’t hinder visibility at least. If I don’t like it, I can peel it off. Not sure I want to stick something on the paint. No clue what it would do long-term.
 
Scoop glare

We had it covered in matte black

Unless it's polarized which won't be legal it's going to do nothing. Even then it won't be enough. My sunglasses are as dark as you can get and polarized and it was still blinding.

Bedliner

Wrap

Non scooped hood (which you could trade for + cash no problem)

Or live with it. I couldn't. Went bedliner and gained a table out of it.

That’s what I DON’T know. Probably not dark enough as you say.
 
I actually installed a hood scoop decal as well, before going on a recent trip to Arizona. And it helped out a lot from the glare.

Yea I'd also like to know where you guys get these things. Anything pre-cut that we just need to apply? That would be nice and convenient lol
