Strip or NOT?

I'm getting my windows tinted 35% all around on Tuesday. I was wondering what you guys thought about a sun strip for the front windshield? Get it or Not? If so how dark? Also if anyone has gotten their windows tinted w/ or w/out the strip could you post some pics. - Thanks

The only way I'd do this is if there was some film that goes from the shade of the roof to clear so you don't see a straight line across, but more of a progressive fading. Even then, I'd probably want to see it first...
