    Nice!! Did you go darker all around? Been thinking about tinting the windows but just doing the front to match the factory tint from the back.

    Just wondering what the laws are in your state, and if you did it yourself or how much you paid

    Car has 20% with sunshades up in the rear, and the truck has 30 on the fronts with 5% on every other window. Lookin good! What wheels you thinking of going with?

    Not sure what op’s answer is but I paid $160 to have all windows and a 6 inch brow on the windshield, I have a DCLB. I did tint some windows on a tower deer blind and it was a royal pain in the ass. Unless you have a lot more patience than I do, find someone who is good at it and pay them.

    damn thats cheap! Unless you know a guy personally around here, a whole car plus brow is 280-350 for regular metal flake tint. Ceramic being closer to 1000 dollars.

    I did that route on one truck but it felt too cheapy. I will say make sure you stick to a 17” rim, clears the caliper better. If i had a dollar for everytime my sticky weights get ripped off the wheel from mud or rocks in the wheel i could retire.

    Not in a hurry! Since I bought the truck I added vent shades, soft bed cover, running boards, tint, blacked out the grill and dechromed it. Enough for now plus winter is coming so going to wait for spring for next add on!!!!

    how long did it take to get use to the brow? That’s something I’ve been debating for years.

    It’s not a problem or issue at all.
