I am contemplating weather or not to get a front strip on my windshield when I get my windows tinted. One of the reasons I am against it is because I think you might be able to see the stock tint on the windshield that is small and comes down in the middle a little bit through the tint strip and I think that would look cheap. If I decide to get one I would also have to decide how many inches to come down *probably around 5 or 6 inches* Let me know what your opinions are and as always pictures always help. Thanks, Phill

 

I want tints, but I won't do the windshield strip.. Doesn't fit the car imo..

 

i always thought windshield strips looked stupid

 

i beg to differ. cause there are those day when you have to stay late at work, and your driving home tired. the suns right there where the strip would be..and your just to damn lazy to bring the visor down. thats were it thrives the most. although opinions are like ********, everyone has one. so really its going to come down to you and your lifestyle. do you really need this strip? what benifit would you get out if it?

:AA:

 

I could honestly care less benefit wise I'm going off of peer appearance wise... lol

 

It looks nice and is helpful. Makes your roofline look lower. Adds style to your car. But to each their own. Sounds like your against it, so you shouldn't.

 

no I'm not against it I just don't know if it looks good or not in person. If you can see through it and see the spot that is darker on the windshield stock then it prolly looks cheap I just dont know if you can or not...

 

I'll post pics of mine when I can.

 

it helps out alot.

Ya you can see the dark spot through it I'm gonna say no to the strip... unless someone has one that you cant see the dark spot through it...

 

I used 18% and you can barely see it. Go with 5% and it should be solid black.

 

Just get your windshield tinted. Mine's been done for over 6 months now and I haven't had any problems from cops.

 

anyone got pics of a strip which you cant see the other black on the windshield through?

 

I think it will look too dark since the factory already has it darker up top.

If you get it, get it very light.

Then it will be less noticable and work better.

 

hahaha thanks to this thread I just realized my windshield doe not have the tint strip

 

the tinting of the whole window doesent look that bad.

:AA:

 

I think I'm just gonna not get a tint strip...

 

mine came with my car.. i like mines!.. it is really helpful keeping the sun off your eyes..

 

Anyone with like a 5% strip I want to see a close up of that and see if you can see the dark part of the stock windshield through it...

 

unless someone cane prove to me with a picture that you cant see the stock black stuff through their tint I will be getting my windows done with no strip this week sometime hopefully...

 

You know that doesn't make any real sense. You don't want to see the dark spot around the mirror if you have a windshield strip, but you definately see it with out the stip. What's the difference? 5% tint is the same as limo tint. I think you'll be happy with it. I have 18% and I don't notice the black around the mirror. The pictures I took with my HD camera show it, due to the flash. Looking at it with my eyes, I have to focus in to notice.

 

That's tto dark for me.

Make it lighter.

 

Tinting the front windshield is alway better, but I already have my front windows, and getting the front windshield tinted will really make my front windows darker, and I really don't want to get pulled over. Or else I would do it. But Go the front windshield tint.

 

Tinting the windshield is for fools do what ya want why even ask
