    Some of this Some of that
    ^so much swag in that tint bro. #yolo
    Seems kinda pointless to me, the top strip reduces glare, but what would the bottom do but prevent vision?

    In all seriousness, no, nobody here has done it. Not a good/safe idea.

    Honestly, im curious what the benefits are...im not poking fun at all.......im really curious if there's a good purpose that we are missing.

    Feel free to pm me if u don't wanna deal with the shit storm in the thread.

    Im not gunna do it, but im curious the thought process behind it :confused:

    Sorry I was the first 1 to say "bottom?" But I just wanted to make sure it wasn't a typo, I wasn't trying to start shit.

    you will gain no popularity by retaliating. we are honest and genuine when we ask WHY? what is the point? tint on a windshield is unsafe unless at the top where it blocks glare and extraneous light that tries to distract you from driving but a bottom strip is ridiculously unnecessary and serves no purpose other than to look cool.

    and he can post wherever he likes a windshield and tinting are universal items covered by both first and second gen tacomas and only differ in shapes, not technology
