What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

I was told 20% is legal for fronts in Florida. Maybe not in VA?
(they call me Captain Obvious)
.

 

Sucks. VA is 50% for front and 35% for all other except the windsheild.

Trucks are different but still 50% n the front.

 

According to Florida.S.S, 28% for the front driver and passenger and 15% for the rear windows. Now, the state gives you +/- 3% so even if the front windows are 25% you're good to go and 12% for the rear.

 

oops! *deletes post

Some people down here have like 10 all around and get away with it.

I had 20 or darker on my 2000 and never got bothered.

The sun's really strong down here, I think maybe they're sympathetic?

I added my hood lights using Famous Fabrication's hood brackets I already had the wiring in place so all I had to do was install the bracket. A very easy job to do.

I need to go out tonight to adjust all the lights.

 

Most states will allow darker tint with a perscription from a doctor. I do not know of anyone that has a perscription.

 

LOL I had a 350z before my Taco and had 15% all around. Never got pulled over or bothered.

 

Yea I knew it was illegal..been on there since may last year no problems..he was new young guy...didnt mess with me about rigid fogs being on. .or tires sticking past fenders to far..or my loaded gun on the dash so I can't complain..my fault

 

Still sucks Matt.

I kept my Tacoma legal and so far it has been great.

 

LOL!

Ya... stick it to the top of the stock 2.7 airbox!

Stick another one on the battery hold down!


Oh hell... and another one on the fuse/relay box!

 

Finally got them on! They look so much better in person than in the pictures. 30x9.5r15 bfg all terrains on 15x8 rockrawlers.. make the truck look so much better. Definitely worth the wait! Be putting up some better pictures soon

 

Keep in mind that the laws address TOTAL transmission.

Your factory tint is already at about 70%.
Stacking a 25% on top of that brings your metered transmission down to 25% OF 70% or only 17.5%... not legal in a 28% state.
35% film would be 24.5... would probably skate in Florida.

California law is NO added tint to anything ahead of the line perpendicular to the driver's eyes. No restriction on anything behind that provided we have two exterior rear view mirrors.
The factory 70% is legal on the front windows, but if we have an older car without factory tint, we can't legally put anything on it.

 

won a OEM Smoked headlight on ebay for $9. now just to find another good deal on the driverside one...lol

 

looks like the bottm left tab is broken.....but nonetheless, good find!!!!!! you can salvage other parts

 

I had 35 on front and cop measured it at 32.4

 

And still wrote the ticket?

Doooooosh!!

.

 

Dude! Those things are awesome! (jealous face!)

 

did my taxes

which is relevant because I'll probably spend half of my refund on "stuff" for the Tacoma

 

Hi guys, need your opinions. Planning on taking out all the chrome badges and painting the grille full black and the chrome handling to matte black.

Your say?

 

Do it! And take those running boards off while you're at it...

Matt
