its hard to tell but do you really get that dark smoke look by just painting the inside?

well i wanted it to be close the the fairing on the ends, but still wanted to retain what i could for wind deflection so in the center its only 1.5" cut down. from there i pretty much eye balled the arc on it with a marker.

another thing----doy ou have a black trim at the top of the screen?
yes, just basic automotive door trim.

Its just a cheap can of gloss black spray paint that I had from when I cheaply started to paint the aftermarket fairing on my old school gsxr.

Does spraying it on JUST the inside give the windshield a really dark appearance on the outside?

Now im just waiting for my mirror block offs and bar end mirrors to show up.
Did you put some kind of strip border where you cut it??
