    ^

    question; on your '12, do the window switch bezels come black like that or did you paint/dye them? been thinking about dyeing mine in my 06 and recovering the elbow pads in black to give the panels a little contrast

    that dome like is BRIGHT by the way; looks great!

    Do it! Nice truck already, but that would look awesome.

    Make the running boards black too if you have to keep them...

    That's what I figured. I like that Toyota decided to do that... thus why I put a black center console and center dash section from a 2012 in my 06 already, lol

    :eek: that's genius... I do actually have a hard time in the sunlight. I ALWAYS have to wear sunglasses or I get BAD headaches...

    but I've never been questioned about my tint before, and I've had some DARK DARK tint on some of my past trucks, lol

    Heres the REAL LEGAL Up to date chart from the people in charge of it.
    http://www.iwfa.com/Portals/0/PDFDocs/Law_Charts/State Law Chart 1-1-2013.pdf

    If in VA get the eye doctor to fill in this for you. Second link is the MED20 form

    http://www.dmv.state.va.us/webdoc/citizen/medical/sunshading.asp

    http://www.dmv.state.va.us/webdoc/pdf/med20.pdf

    VA is nice with the tint law ~ sort of.

    SO with the Sunshade stamp, on your truck, you can do

    Now with TRUCKS - rear - ANY! and mirrors...

    Plus the 7% Tolerance..

    So if I'm reading this right, 35 - 7 = 28 right?

    Get an eye exam. Tell them you have started to work more at night and find yourself squinting all the time in the sunlight. Wearing your sunglasses all the time too.

    They will say you have Photo-Phobia (light sensitivity) and sign off on the form for you.
    They might also ask you where you got the form, and just reply," you went to your doctor, complained about the headaches, and light sensitivity, they recommended you get the form off the net, fill it out and get an eye exam."

    Re-derped the "evo mod" the other day... Then today I took off the wheels, cleaned inside them, clean the wheel wells and brake calipers because OCD got to me... Then washed the truck.

    (sorry for the instagram picture)
