What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I recently did this also. Best mod I've done so far.

 

What kind of film did you get? I got 3M ceramic film that is supposed to block UV and about 60% heat and infrared. I'm going to see how I like it on the front windows. I might go back and get the rest done in that to keep heat down and the inside from fading. I noticed from inside now the back windows don't look as dark. It's close but off a little.

 

What percent is the tint you put on?

 

I honestly didn't ask that. I told them to match it close to the rear. The invoice says match rear up to 15% 3M ceramic IR . I'd guess 20- 25%

 

Spent a few days in St Mary's last month just to get away and meet up with a couple of the kids. Step Daughter spent a few months working on Kings Bay as a chemical engineer. Father in Law is also retired Navy. Thank you for your service.

 

I got ceramic film, #35 whatever that is. Not sure if it was 3M or not. Ordered it from either Amazon or eBay. It came pre cut. Got my wrap buddy to put it on. Cost me 43 bucks and a lunch.

 

Oh lucky you. I don't know anyone who is good at it and don't trust myself to get it perfect. I paid the shop it took my last vehicle to years ago. Not cheap, it took 3 weeks to get a Saturday appointment and if they been in business over decade they have to be good.

 

I dont think 3m ceramic goes darker than 30%, unless you went with their top of the line Crystalline which you can get at 20%.

Whichever one you ended up with looks pretty good though!

Edit: nevermind, didnt realize they had a separate "IR" line which looks to have much more options available

 

If I was in your shoes I would have done the same thing. I watched him do it and believe me, it's not a job for the inexperienced.

 

My dad told me the same thing hummm must have been a cool mod way back lol

 

Did my first oil and filter change at 4773 miles. Will rotate the tires when it’s not raining. Removed the front air dam while under there.

It's actually not bad at all. You hear it at higher revs before shifting, but on the highway its a nice tone and not loud at all inside

 

Just added a new co pilot. Thoughts?

 

Trading my '18 OR in this week, so I've been taking all the aftermarket stuff off to put it back to stock. Going to have a few things for sale here pretty soon, mostly lights and cosmetic stuff.

 

May I ask how come so early? With full synthetic factory recommended is 10k

 

Thank you. The green looks really good. Shame I painted over it. I highly recommend using snap ring pliers to pry the housing from the lens. I used them on the second lens and I was done within 30 min with no hassle.

 

You are right. I watched them do the work too. I know if I did it there would be bubbles and creases. They smooth that stuff out like it's so easy.
