    This is the best I have right now. My truck is so covered in road salt, it's hard to get a representative pic. So I zoomed in on a couple older pics. The front two sides are 45%. Better than nothing and the darkness really depends on the angle.

    Thanks! That doesn't look too bad. At least they look somewhat tinted. I was afraid I'd pay to have them tinted to 50 and not even notice a difference. I think I'd probably go 45% like you did though.

    There are times when they look not too far off in tint, but as I said if the angle is right they are still fairly transparent. Still much darker than stock. I would do it over again if that helps any. I also don't get any crap when going in for my inspection stickers.

    What did you pay to have it done if you don't mind me asking?

    I don't have to worry about inspections here in Minnesota, we don't have any. Actually, it took me a while to figure out what everyone on here was talking about because I've never had to deal with that. We're more up front with our governmental theft. You just pay your annual "registration fee" and be on your way. Just last year we had to start showing proof of insurance though.

    I've never applied anything to the frame. I just make sure to do a good undercarriage wash before it sets in too long. Had my frame inspected and nothing rusting through to warrant a new frame. Just going to get the CRC coating.

    Window tint (30/5 front/rear), rear window decals, Auto Vent Shades, mud guard delete, hood lift system, and debadged.
    I wrapped mine as soon as I bought it. 5% rear/rear passenger and 30% driver/front passenger. I think mine was around $200 installed with a lifetime warranty (they offer a cash discount). I’ll take pics and post them today.

    Tinted windows sometimes look nice but I can see why it's illegal...very dangerous, especially for LEO's. You'd get pulled over and cited in about 10 minutes where I live with tint that dark..

    The CRC coating is offered and applied by the Toyota dealership in accordance with the factory recall. The frame recall stipulates that Toyota will replace the frame if it meets rust perforation guidelines. If it doesn't meet those guidelines, they instead apply the Corrosion Resistant Coating (CRC).

    Here are some pics:

    Took these while the wife was in Target. Not the best. I could go a bit darker on the front, given the Maltese cross and EGA. 5-0 doesn’t even look my way anymore. Might go to the doctor and get a note about my fair skin so I can get the windshield tinted thanks to California law AB 1303 that just came into effect.
