    I used Window Kote in St Pete on 38th Ave N near I-275
    I asked for a match also, I think they did a great job, took maybe an hour, I think I paid $99.

    Had the darkest that is legal on the front windows, with a extreme dark on the the side and rear window. Also had the strip on the windshield done.

    Appreciate the input! I’ll be reaching out to the places y’all recommended. I was initially thinking about going to Tint World in Palm Harbor, since I used the Jacksonville location for my WRX. I believe they quoted me $140 for ceramic tints on the fronts with a lifetime warranty or $230 for all four windows and the rear windshield.

    I doubt any of you would be interested in these SR shocks, I just want to get rid of them. Feel bad just throwing them away.

    The maaco off Fowler puts out nice work depending on budget. I use to work at Roberts Collision in Clearwater and by far the best paint work I've seen locally. If I needed insurance work Roberts would be my go to place.

    Thats a loaded question. I had my 03 tacoma fender and roof resprayed due to sun damage for $300 by a small 1 man shop and was happy. Took my Dodge mega cab that someone keyed an entire side to have painted and they did a horrible job even with a $100 tip in advance. I think it depends on how dude is feeling that day. Everybody usually gives free estimates and I think macco would be able to give a better estimate. Some times sun damage can be sanded down and recleared or polished out if clearcoat failure isnt to far gone. However, You might not even have clearcoat as it might just be single stage. I monstalined in the end and haven't looked back.

    How’s it going y’all, I just moved to st. Pete for school and first thing I did was get my ADS level 1 kit installed. Truck rides great but for some reason there’s lots of rubbing on the cab which is odd because it sits higher than before, could it be the UCAs allowing for more articulation? No idea on that. The other thing is the tires for some reason seem to slant inward. Is this normal or is there an issue? Not sure if you can tell in the picture. Any inputs would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

    Did you get an alignment after the install? If not, that’s probably most of the issue.
