    Finally got my windows tinted, 5% on the rear and 35% on the sides. In PA, it's technically illegal to get any front window tint so I didn't want to go too dark. I'm hoping that if I get pulled over, they'll ignore it or I can get a doctor at work to write me some medical excuse bs for it.

    I also got keyless entry put in since it's a super base model and had manual locks to go with my crank windows. I took it to the local audio shop and they said they couldn't do it since it was a cable-driven system. Went to another place and they did it no problem. I've seen a bunch of different ways to do it on here, but they did a good job and didn't have to rig anything.

    I'll let you know when I drive it at night. Just got it done today and drove straight to work for night shift. It should help a lot with those idiots with HIDs (me :D)..it's pretty easy to see out of but looks a lot darker from the outside

    Thanks greytaco. I really wanted the access cab but I was in a pinch and my previous ride was totaled..and for what I was looking to pay, I didn't want something with 80k+ miles on it so 09 reg cab with 30k it was. The only thing I really want to change out is the bench seat for buckets but it's not looking too reasonable to my wallet

    Nice!! Window tint is a must have imo.
    I had the windows tinted on my truck withing the first week.
    5% fronts and 5% over factory tint for the rears.

    It's actually not as bad as I thought. If there's any sort of light, you can see pretty well to back up or whatever and it keeps the headlights and everything else out really well
