i bought my t/a with shades. i tried em out once and hated them; i bought the t-tops over the hardtop for the "skylight" in my roof. i sold the shades soon afterwards and made some $$
i just got my windows tinted yesterday, so i had them do the t-tops too. i just bought a new dash pad 2 weeks and dont want that to start cracking, so the tops got tinted as well

I've never had them on in my car. Actually gave them to my brother and he uses them. For the guys that are tinting your t-tops how are you doing it? Just adding 5% over the stock tint?

i brought it to a tint shop, they layed tint over the factory tint. as long as its in good condition it should be fine

I'm pretty sure thats how they did mine. they wouldn't warranty it because they were afraid of the aforementioned cracking myth. I came here and asked and was told they are rated to 4000 degrees. if my t-tops get to 4000 degrees, we're all up **** creek

I agree with the Texas sun being really hot. Without them in the afternoon, you feel the heat from the sun even with the AC on. This winter will be my first owning an F-body, I'll see how I like the winter time without the shades.
