Hrmm, it just keeps the interior of my vehicle much cooler, prolongs the life of the plastic inside by preventing UV damage, hides valuables from prying eyes, the tint strip at the top also is very nice when driving the 5, just when the sun is going down....good positioning, works well in conjunction with the visor....and just looks really nice, but that is just me.... :-)

This also means that the lower limit is a parallel plane with the ground. Most cheap tint shops put the stuff on with a straight cut. When this edge is placed on a curved windshield the outside edges are lower than the center. This is fine as long as the lowest part doesn't go lower than the low limit. But than means the center is higher than it has too be.

Plus all that added weight of the tint just slows me down (...don't even think about it...).
