haha, that's good to hear man... looks sick on your truck, with the black theme! But my girl loves it too, said that's gonna be the first mod on her new vehicle.
def makes a vehicle stand out.. which is a good thing.. but bad thing with cops haha But yeah, I'm sure its a lot better not having cracks...

yea we drove back from being out tonight with my parents in my dads truck and all you can see when looking at the truck at night are my rear plate and my hellas. the rear plate is soon to be black and idk when ill have money for some black magic 500's with all the other stuff i want
mine was more complaining about the tint and how i cant afford a ticket for it but still thinks it looks sweet now.

just call around and someone will do it. and theres not much you can haggle on the price with it but it was worth it since they did a great job on it

Only thing I'm afraid of is, I have something on my windshield which makes it look like its fogged up all the time, very annoying while driving. I think its when I wrecked and monster splashed all over the windshield. I can't seem to get it off.
If its not tinted, use a cloth sprayed with Simple Green. It will come off no issues then.
Agreed... I would be getting that cleaned off real quick... not something I would want to be driving around with ha

Does the new windshield have the thick layer of dots going around it? I went to get mine doe and he was concerned with the dot matrix all the way around it. usually these are trouble areas and the tint will not sticl properly and will get white looking

The tint looks good Jake, Wish i could do it to mine but with my luck i would get pulled over within a mile of the tint shop. We got the Rear windows and the back glass of my wifes Taurus done about 6 months ago and i went 5 percent on it and not even a week later DPS pulled her over for the rear windows being to dark and gave her a warning(he said on a 4 door car the rear windows has to be the same legal limit as the front) . He didnt pull her over for speeding or anything he saw the dark tint and got her. Watch out for DPS they will rip you a new one. City cops arent so bad, Once again it looks awesome.
