ive got 20% on the front and gonna do 5% over the back once i get more cash. then next is the muffler just cant decide which exhaust

 

I say ALL THE ABOVE. Go with the legal tint that way you can save some money for the tacoma.

 

You don't need to get an exhaust... You will gain the same performance with a muffler. I would highly recommend Borla or magnaflow. Don't get a FM muffler or Gibson.

 

i would do tint but in gay californie any tint on the front windows is illegal

 

haha :fingerpointing: You guys do have some stupid political crap over there.

 

i know but florida sucks...


so neener neener

 

oh yeah if/when i do it, its gonna be done right

 

5% so you can't see up in my window.

 

As said before, you can do both tint and exhaust. You only need the fronts tinted. I just ordered tint from these guys. Can't beat $15 shipped

Thanks for all the responses! To answer the responses that say I should save my money and lift it like I want to: my dad isnt allowing me to lift my truck, so thats why. My plan was I would pay for every cent of the lift wheels and tires but he just wasn't up for it. So now hopefully he'll let me do these cheaper mods. Right now, I'm leaning towards just welding in a new muffler and nice tip. That'll be cheaper than duals for sure. And depending on how the pre cut tint from ebay is, I may gve that a shot seeing how cheap it is, and if i dont like it, I should just be able to remove pretty easy I would think.

 

Well technically you can't in PA, either. I don't really look at what's illegal, I look at what's likely to get you pulled over. You can only have 70 on the fronts here which naturally is essentially nothing and I doubt most places have that light. Are they strict with actually pulling people over there for it? I never had problems with 35 all the way around on my last car, might be pushing it with 15 on the Tacoma but haven't had any issues yet in the 6 months it's been on, knock on wood. I've had cops sitting right next to me at traffic lights and look at it and just be on their way.

 

Same here bro. My father won't even let me get an exhaust...

 

I like taking it to someone to tint the windows professionally. And most of the time they have better tint and a warranty of some sort with it. I did just 20% on the front but I have a couple friends that did 15 or 5 on the back and 35 up front but it looks a little odd to me. I'm not sure where your located but everywhere I've been, no one messed with me.

 

Go with Madico tint that has ceramic in it and it will help keep your cab cooler and will reject alotof the heat...much better for the interior...

 

If you don't mind me asking...where are you located in NC?

 

near greensboro

 

Ok. I was gonna say if you were around charlotte area or near fayetteville, I could give you a couple places that are really good and have great pricing but I don't know anywhere in the greensboro area. sorry

 

I'd say go with the 20% tint and take the chance. Here in NJ it's illegal for any tint on the front windows as well as the strip on the windshield but it's worth the risk. If NC is anything like Jersey you can always go to a shop for inspection instead of DMV and they won't make you pull the tint off. Completely up to you though.
