    Does anyone have a picture of the Front Windows tinted by the Dealer? And or know what percentage it is?

    I know it's cheaper to go outside of the dealer but if they already include it on the truck I was just curious the look and darkness?

    Also, has anyone heard of them adding a hood scooped hood on an Off Road model before it went into production or allocation?

    No Toyota will not do that. You could pay the dealer (handsomely I assume) to order a Sport Hood, Paint and Install it. Not even sure what the hoods cost, maybe $600 to $1000 not painted would be my guess. You can google Toyota parts and find pricing or call the parts department and ask them.

    There's no factory option for front side window tinting. While I'm sure there are exceptions, nearly all dealer installed tint is done by a third party installer. Just go find someone in your area who does good work. They can measure your rear and front side windows and then put on whatever will make them match up as close as possible.

    As for the look and darkness, go look in the "show your ..." thread for whatever color you're curious about.

    No option to have an OR built with a skewp AFAIK. Best bet is hit up a hood swap thread in your region and meet up with a Sport owner who wants to trade with you.

    i have 20% on the front, it looks close to the rears. you'll never get it exactly. and as stated above, the dealer is going to source it out to a third party, and then mark it up, so better off doing it yourself

    Thanks for the info. I was able to work it out in regards to the tint. I figured like anything they add on is over pri
