Probably just the angle of that photo. Here is one with better lighting. I’m presuming that the Raptor was not tinted full windshield.

I have a 5% pre cut brow I got on ebay. I bought pre-cuts for all 3 of my rides. It's much easier than trying to cut it nice and straight across the bottom. It's already done for you.

The really low tint eyebrows are known as rolling probable cause to those looking to stop you as they are illegal in most states that I know of. For me, I prefer to fly below the radar and not broadcast for a reason to be stopped.

How far down does yours come down?

The eyebrow is at the ASI line. Base is the full windshield at 80% (nearly clear but blocks heat) with the eyebrow put on over that.

I like your tint. I’ve been wanting to do the brow tint but every example I’ve seen the tint line is “frowning”. I think it looks really out of place but I think it’s just easier to install that way. Your line looks to be level with the horizon. Do you have a link to the precut one you bought.

I stand corrected, drove it yesterday and noticed that the eyebrow is about 1“ below the ASI. If I had noticed that when they did it, I’d have had it redone.

This is the seller I bought it from. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Ford-F-150-...EAAOSwddhZvCSG

It doesn't have a cutout for the mirror so you will have to DIY.
