This may be my first real on topic pics and post since...idk when?!

Today i dropped my Ex off at my buddys shop, he did the two front windows for me 35% as i requested. It's illegal here to have anything on the fronts so i'm playing it safe. Man it totally changed the look of the truck...I LOVE IT! ran it through the carwash because, well, i'm lazy! haha

eh??

Man.....one of my POs fixed them obviously and he used another yet a way stronger glue than they used OEM.
It took 3 eraser wheels, 2 Liters of Acetone, heavy cursing and a couple of six packs.
But its done......

I ordered Powerstop brakes, LEDs for all the outside bulbs(Inlcuding headlights!) new flasher for LEDs to function properly, Rancho RS9000XLs for all four corners, 4 inch block kit to pick up the rear, sway bar bushings front and rear, new bumpstops, new tie rod end to pitman arm, and a switch bank I plan to wire in and mount to the front of the center console. Busy weekend ahead for me!

Russ, how does that tint work at night? Does it give you reflections of the interior? What about backing up at night in rain? Can you still see using the side mirrors? I've always been afraid the tinting would effect my nightime visibility..

I had 20% done on two vehicles about 8 years ago. I loved it in the summer, made me nervous as hell in the dark months.

I'm looking at 35% on the EX and the wife's denali now. Just a little nervous.

I'm curious on Russ' take.

I noticed when I was putting the motor in, the 4x4 vacuum lines are both shot and one nipple looks like it is plugged up.

I registered the Ex and the Edge in Washington today. We now have paper license plates until our Coast Guard specialty plates arrive.

I know pics or it did not happen, but there really is not much to show...

The wife's Mountaineer has limo dark front windows. It's a bit hairy backing at night but I'm used to it now. If we are backing much at night I automatically lower the windows. It's a habit now. I plan to tint the other two vehicles soon as I feel the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.
