tinting t-tops....

Anyone ever tint there t-tops? sometimes at the track the sun blinds you from shining in from above the windshield. I dont have any t-top shades that came with the car. i can tint mine just as cheap or cheaper than finding some t-top shades. what you guys think? 5% maybe. I would think it would work well.

In Theroy it would be fine, would look kinda crappy unless you cut it exactly to the window portion. But that is just personal preference.

i put some tint on mine, the only thing is that the sun really heats those things up. but its not hard to do at all, some tint at an autoparts store is fine.
