    If you are doing a 28-29, you can unbolt the visor and cut your section out of the top of the A-pillars so you dont have to pie cut to get the taper even

    Just a thought for aesthetics your back window shouldnt be taller than your front screen. Would suggest cutting the top 4 inches, rest the top back on then stand well back and make sure you are happy with it. We all have different tastes but for coupes I reckon 4 isnt enough and 5 is better. But its your car....

    Well, we were going to cut it out and cut it down to 7 inches, and then the front windshield is going to be 8.5 inches, so the windshield is still bigger then the back window, and I didn't want to chop it more then 4 because while slammed cars are rad, it's 1: My first car and 2: I would like to see out of it, and if I decide to chop it more, it's easier to remove material then add it.
