the cars I drive. Just tinting the top strip diminishes the look of the car IMO. You can't tell it is tinted, especially with all the other windows tinted dark. It helps a lot with keeping the car cool and reducing sun glare. IMO it makes the car look better too. I just got the windows tinted on my NA yesterday. I'll try to post a pic tomorrow showing the front window tint. My previous Black Emerald TT in the Sig below had the front windshield tinted. My current Super White does not have tint yet and may not get it....I want to keep it with the original look.
