Default Tinting

Would you guys do a tint strip on the front windshield or leave it alone? My sides are tinted and I have a tinted soft top. Just can't decide on the front or not

that's really personal preference, because ultimately you will be the one enjoying or despising your final decision, but me personally, with a black 4 door that has tinted soft top, I chose not to tint the windshield because I thought it might not look right when the top and all doors are off

Tint shops in the area are funny about doing illegal tints but I've not been stopped in our area for tint, only further out towards Lynchburg.

But.....keep it updated on how you like it. I'm thinking about doing a strip and possibly even getting the entire windshield done to keep the sun and prying eyes out.

How about plastidipping the windshield. I think it has an SPF of 10,000.
