Nope, was supposed to be today, but my tint never came in on its scheduled day of Friday, and never came Saturday. So I did other things today. Sometime in the week after work if the tint shows I will get to it. I would rather apply the tint with the door panel & gasket removed, makes it very much easier.

Yes. I recently stripped my 15% front window tint for 5% Llumar ATR, and it looks too shiny and gleamy as compared to the super black rear windows and I can not stand it. So I ordered some 3M Color Stable 5% and am hoping it is just as black as the rear. I recently applied some of that 3M tint in 20% on a 2011 Escape and it is very black, looks like privacy glass. So I feel like I found the right tint. Hope it is here when I get out of work today!

Will be the 4th time my fronts have been tinted within 2yrs! I'm just never satisfied

Its all on now, actually has been since Monday, however I have not drove the truck or moved it out the garage since. Have a new girlfriend and have been spending all of my free time after work with her. Going great! Should be able to get the truck out this weekend.

I can't comment too much on how it looks because the tint doesn't have that mirrored look when inside a garage, and the mirrors blend in with all of the rest of the shine in the garage.

Finally, new pics. Fully PTM mirrors, and 3M Color Stable 5% tint in front. I am very satisfied now! There is hardly any color difference from the privacy stock color, and the mirrors look finished with the body now.

Looks great! Wanna consider some sort of paint protection film on the mirrors?

She's too low bud

Thanks! Oh tons of plans, just depends on money. I need to do some more maintenance soon and I need tires by spring time.

Thanks! Na I'm not into the paint protection film stuff. I wont have the truck forever so it will last a long while.

Leveled on 34s may be the furthest this truck will get with me

you keeping the monsters?

If it were mine I'd be tempted to try one of those black rims with machined accents like fuel wheels. Of course 20x9 to help out with clearance on 34''s

A/T or M/T?
