The mirror caps dont look bad with all that chrome.. I was more thinking the 4x4 emblem is out of place.

I've had 35% on the windshield for a while and love it. You'd be hard-pressed to tell a difference from the inside but you can definitely tell from the outside. If I was made to rip it off I'd go put it back on again.

haha Thanks... But the Mirrors are now PTM Caps, and now have PTM LT handles, and the 4x4 is changed too.. its now "FTX All Terrain" in black with PTM

Hard to see rear fender sticker

I've got 35% on the windshield and the rest meters out in the 1.8% range.



One in direct sunlight. The only time you can really see in at all.


On a side note, the 1.8% is tons darker than regular limo for those who might want their tint darker. 5% is much much easier to see out of.

I've got some Maui's that I wear and they are almost to dark with all the tint I have and make my eyes strain most of the time. It's my side windows that cause this though because the 35% on the windshield is barely noticeable.
