Tinted front winshield.

The sun gets through where the visors come up short, so I tinted the top portion of the windshield with Gila 20% limo black.
once it stops raining and the roads dry up i will go out for a ride and see how it works..

20% isn't going to do much when the sun is shining through it...I would have reccomended 5% for the visor

Ebay you can get a pre cut strip for like $10.

I am tinting all my side and front windows and letting a pro do the rear.
