    i dont believe powdercoating is any more durable or holds any advantages over a good paint job

    make sure you sand them well...clean them...and then prime and paint...

    once you do that if you ever hit something and it scratches the paint...a rattle can will touch it up perfectly...

    just called around and i can get 24% up front( they give you a grace for how much you can go just in case your windows come like 70% from the factory) and the back as dark as i want for 160 OTD. so i think im gonna go with them... tint plus.

    the law is you can go as dark as you want on the rear window only. the two side windows have to be 35% or higher. im getttiing 24% since there is a loophole. the shops in town wont go below this.. :( and i dont think i can get the windshield tinted either. i will once i get some decent pics of the truck and get the wheels on and shit.. dont worry haha
