Default Anyone with windshield "visor" tint?

I am going to get my vette's windows tinted when I return from across the world. I am trying to decide if this tint "visor" on the windshield will look good on my car (2001 SW Z06).

I had the tint visor put on my old 96 camaro but it was a black car with black tint!!! very stealth, but I'm not sure what it would look like on the Z06. Has anbody done this? What do you think?

Thanks

Are you talking about the tint at the top of the windshield? If so I have it on mine and it is SW. Sometimes I wish I would have gone darker on the side windows but I need to keep it somewhat legal, my exhaust draws alot of attention.

I can try and snap a couple of photos tomorrow.

Default Cool

Thanks guys!!! Anybody have more pictures with the tint strip on the windshield?

Also any suggestions on what % is best on the rear glass and the "visor"? I had 20% on my camaro and my wife's car has 35%. I really like the dark look, and IL doesn't have a limit on the rear glass. I "can't" get the door glass done cause IL law prohibits it.

Thanks

Default Break the wind shield?

How in the world would they break the windshield? I mean I have seen it done to 2 of my vehicles, a camaro and a Zx2. Both took about 10 minutes . I know the Z's windshield is thinner than stock but installing one of these things is not a rough job....
