Default Windshield Tape Removed

After several month of hesitation since I found out about the black tape, I made my decision and removed the blacktape from my front windshield. The silverstone paint undernearth is flawless. The entire process took me around 1 hour.


Without tape looks great, especially top down.

The black trim that you're seeing is actually tape. If you remove it, it's body color underneath.
