Windshield "Eyebrow" Tint (Pics)

[Wilco]

When I bought my car back in December, it was already tinted and had an "eyebrow" of tint across the top of the windshield. My first reaction was to remove it, because seeing it on other cars I always thought it was dumb. But now that I've had it for a while, it's sorta growing on me.

Now I can't decide - should I peel it off or leave it? Below are a couple of pics to show what I'm talking about:

i actually like it- i'm thinking about doing it now when i get my car tinted.

I had one on for about 2 weeks, then took a narly rock to the windsheild and had to have a new one installed, unfortunately i never went back to have a new one put on. I'd either leave it, personally I'm just going to have them tint the whole front windshield with a light tint, my boss had something around 15% on the front its too dark i'll go a bit lighter.

ehh, i said to myself with this car id stay away from that look. To me its kind of kidish, just my opinion.

i like it not for it looks for for their functionality

I have something like that but with a solid vinyl, helps block the sun.

Looks good from the outside, not so much the inside.

I keep thinking that if the car wasn't tinted already and I was having it done, I would still never opt to have that eyebrow (even now). But it is already there . . . .


Bah, I think I'm making a mountain out of a mole hill.

looks bad imo..

Like it if it didnt curve down so much

Like it if it didnt curve down so much

But that is a straight line which just follows the curve of the glass.

in a sense that it would be less noticible

To other people or the driver? The top 6" of the windshield is useless unless you are very tall or need to watch the sky thinking you are being watched by the Big Brother



You can order a windshield that has a tinted strip on the top that would be less noticed since it follows the roof line not the curve of the window.

I had a vinyl one at one time also. Really helps with the sun.

looks just a little to thick, but like others have said, should help with the sun .

you can kinda see mine in this pic. i voted take it off because i think it's too light. i would go with a solid black one or 5%. mine has proved functional enough times to be glad i had it.

i like the stock tint up there to me this just looks strange

The eyebrow tint has officially been removed. I have to say, as conflicted as I was before, I'm much happier with how it looks now that it's off. It just looks 100x cleaner.

Functionality-wise, I can't say I really miss it. It actually feels like my field of view outside the car has improved a great deal now that it's off.
