Tint matched

I think it looks really good. Have an awesome Saturday, y'all. We are hanging out in Glenwood springs this weekend.

I think it was 20% smoke. I'll check tomorrow when I'm home.

Looks fantastic. Checking back in as I'm looking to get mine tinted this week. What % did you go with? Anything you'd have done differently now that you've been driving it for 30-45 days?

Thanks for the photo! I've got almost the same look, minus the chrome package on a Lariat. Any concerns regarding night driving with the 20%?

Only thing that bothers me so far is I back into my garage and I find my self rolling down windows because of the lighting. I have a tight fit and it takes some precise maneuvering where with the tint now I couldn't see well. Other then that I love them. Rolling down windows won't be an option if it's dumping rain or snowing. Here is a sunlight pic.

I need to upgrade to the quad beam led lights now. The halogens just don't have the side dispersion I need. I upgraded the headlights on my raptor after tinting the windows and it really helps with the turning visibility.

Looks great! Coming soon to my truck.

I had 20% all the way around on a past Mustang. It's a little tough at night but nothing I couldn't deal with.

Definitely a great looking rig. Thanks for the insight.

Looks good!! For such a minor modification it makes a huge difference in the appearance of a vehicle.

Heres a few pics of my oxford white KR with matched tint for those who may be curious to see a white truck.

I had LLumar ceramic 40% put on sides / back and 80% windshield. Amazing how much this stuff cuts the heat.

Before:



After:



Driveway looks like a car lot - can't wait for our oldest to head back to college. :-X0:
