Default Windshield tape

Can't seem to decide if I'm going to remove the windshield tape or not with the new gpw hardtop. Figure I'd post a poll to see what people thought. Tried to find a car with similar rims. I plan to keep the hardtop on the car 90% of the time and removing the soft top.

I think it looks good matched to the hardtop. So if it's a BB hardtop or softtop I'd keep the tape. But colour matched hardtop I like the windshield same colour.

I think it's like a bandaid. Just need to rip it off without thinking. I did like the look of it on my old s2000 but is a little bit of a pain if the paint isn't perfect underneath or finding a shop to reapply the vinyl.

Without a soft top or a black hardtop I think it would look the part but would also be concerned if not in perfect condition as you mentioned.
First world problems are the worst.

vinyl application is dead nuts easy. if you can breath with your mouth closed, then you can apply vinyl.

ok, maybe not that easy, but close.

Thanks. Fronts are 17x7.5 +40 and rear are 17x9 +48 (by using spacers and extended studs)
