I don't plan to drive my Heep on pavement at all. I don't carry insurance on it anymore, it's strictly for trail use, and draging things around our property when the tractor isn't big enough to get the job done. I don't want it to look like crap all the time, but I can deal with scratches if it means I have something stronger. What I'd like to avoid is having to worry about where the windows are on the trail when I should be worrying about keeping it rubber side down.
Tint isn't that big a deal, but I have the factory tinted windows now, and it's shocking how much cooler it is sitting in a vehicle with tinted glass than one without it.
