Visor strip windshield tint

Hi guys

I just want some opinion on having a visor strip tint versus not having one.

I had one on my last car which was great, but I am afraid it might look cheesy or cheap on my black C.

Thanks

I still miss that dark tint strip across the top of the windshield from when most cars had them. But the manufacturers all figured they could save 50 cents a windshield by eliminating it.

But yes, adding an aftermarket dark tint does make the car look cheap. But hey, it's your car.

I wouldn't put one in my car, but if it would make you happy, what difference does it make if any of us would do it. It's your car. Do what makes you happy with it.

I think tinting the entire windshield is illegal in this state.
But I do agree that visor strip looks cheap.

I drove my white C300W4 for a month without a tinted visor strip and the sun glare was blinding at certain times of the day. I had a six inch wide dark strip installed and am not blinded by the sun anymore. (looks great as well)
