Default Windshield Frame Tape Removal

I am thinking about peeling off the tape but it seems that most people have had to have some paint work done after? I am not too concerned about it as I would just get it repainted if I have a flaw but for those in limbo like myself let the poll begin.

Looks like with my vote, we are 100% against tape removal. Of course, mine was the only vote at the time....

If your going to have the top down 99% of the time, it looks good with the tape off. If you are going to have the top up a fair amount, it doesn't look all that good!

Just my opinion!

I'd just leave it on. I wouldn't want to deal with the headache of having to repaint the frame.
