Was your exhaust tip like that? I mean the angle, it looks kind of funny.

My dad I both agreed she looks better than the day we picked her up

Odds are the angel is weird. When he hit the truck you could tell that the exhaust had been bent downwards some. Whether or not the shop fixed that, or tried to, I'm not sure. You may be right.

Glad to see its all fixed up and looking good again. Question, how did you manage to find a truck in the south without ac? I'd die, I live partially in New York and Florida these days. I never roll down my windows.

The way I read it, his A/C sucks - not that he doesn't have it at all.

Good eye...

Here's a good one to look at... look at the exhaust:

You're right. I missed the "mine sucks" part.

Nope. They are all the same.

Would cost FoMoCo too much money to have different exhaust systems.

Thanks guys. Appreciate the feed back. I think they may have bent to exhaust that way for the previous tip that was on it.

Tint I would like 20% at the least but mother said as long as it is legal I don't care but I know she doesn't that the legal limit around here is 40%. If the guys at the shop don't say anything I'll be good. I keep seeing extended cab versions of my truck with dark tint and they look fantastic. If everything goes as planned this time she should have a new look Wednesday.

20% is what the factory tint is for Ford on the rear windows (Scab/Screw), so it will look good. As long as you aren't going something stupid or acting suspicious, you aren't likely to get pulled over for the tint.
