not a great perspective, it just takes getting used to. most rear view is through the stripes. 1st time was an attempt to do a wet install as recommended did not go well. 2nd I did a dry mount and went slow,very slow in sections. I cut below the stripes attached to the star panel (Left 3 stripes on another piece). started on the left side exposing the backing of the star area using the air bubble tool(included w/xacto knife) along the way. then continued across with the 3 stripes. final was the 4th stripe by itself spaced apart. I measured and used the defrost wires in glass to align. as I pulled the backing to lay the decal I used the bubble tool. there will be small air bubbles,some you can squeeze out others I used the tip of the knife to poke and finger smooth. already getting comments ! good luck
