Outer windows clear, inner windows later on

With this annual, I've pretty much decided to go with clear OUTER windows.

Just need to confirm same as front and door as already as done more recently.

Reasons are:

0. BY generally parking facing north, angle of incidence on windshield is better than tint!

1. While 'smoked' might look cool, loss of light & contrast at night and IFR

2. Except for pilot side and door, other windows are under wing and shielded from sun.

3. Inner windows are easy to pop in/out in just a few mins.

3a. Inner windows under wing may be just fine. We will see.

3b. Easy to redo INNER windows later on

3c. Inner windows non-structural, so can buy any old UV plastic anywhere: $25 for fancy UV + tint vs $200 per window

3d. Can change INNER to tint or clear easily and inexpensively as desired at any point
