Mike...
We all have opinions, Hey it's your Car do as you like! We all know for the most part Our Cars are Not Cookie Cutter Cars? As in, They all don't look alike? We kinda like to put our own Touch or Flair on Our Cars to make the Ours!
For Me...I Like the Flush mount Windshield, I like the way it looks on my Car! My Car being White with all Black Trim, I for one think it looks great on My Car! But then again, I also have the Camaro Mirrors and 17"-18" wheels. (I never liked the Campagnolos) LOL 
Good Luck Curt

 Mike,

Flush mounted windshields are the top thing that future owners will be forced to rectify. I think they are incredibly stupid on an old car that continues to have chrome trim (or black) around the doors.  It’s like walking around wearing a shirt but no pants. It just looks dumb. 

Flush mounted glass is fine on a modern car. If you want a modern car, buy a Ferrari 360 or something—they basically go for Pantera money these days. 

We are driving CLASSIC cars and classic cars came with windshield trim. It’s just the right thing.  

Hey, you asked! :)
