Default window strip ,to tint or not to tint ?

hey i got a FM tC and im gonna be getting 15 or 20 % on the windows including the back, my question is do u think it will look better with the front window strip of the same tint, or without it ? anyone got pics of some tCs with the front visor strip

Thanks

You can tint it down to the AS1 mark. I wouldn't, personally.

Also keep in mind that the CT tint laws say 35% front and back sides and any% rear windshield.

i did limo tint on the back 3 windows and the front strip also, w/ 20% on the front 2 windows.

personally i love having that strip across the windshield. the strip is even with the bottom of the rearview mirror mount.

i've got some pix, i'll post 'em later.

my NBM has the front tint strip. I really like having it because I don't have to use the stupid visors all the time. sunglasses + the strip is fine for morning/afternoon driving.

i had them do the strip on my car because on my last tc, even though i had everything done in 20%, the front seemed lighter because of high big the windshield is(it lets in so much light). i think the strip up top makes the tints in front look darker. i hated that the front windows looked lighter than the back, even though they were the same exact %.
