Window Tint?

Hey, I was wondering if there is anyone one here from the akron area that does window tint. I'm looking to get mine done. I dont mind driving either to get it done.

Thanks Brian

Anybody interested in a set of skidplates? I've got the bolts and clips to go with them.
If nobody wants them, I think I'll just turn them in for scrap, either that or put them back on my truck.

Well I just couldn't do it, I can't be without a Ford Truck anymore. Got rid of the FX2 though and bought a loaded up 2010 FX4. Student loans be damned, they can wait
This truck is sooo sweet though, they really did awesome with these new ones. I'll miss the FX2 but I am very happy with this new truck so far! Here's a few quick pics, I'll get some better ones later.









Probably gonna do raptor heads/tails and a magnaflow exhaust at first, we'll see what happens beyond that!

Yea, I'm gonna do the raptor heads and tails first probably. These trucks look so much better without all that chrome, especially the tails. Probably do an exhaust soon too. I've been listening to clips on youtube, most of them seem too quiet to me....I want something a little louder than anything I've found.

I wanna level it too but I'm afraid it's gonna be too tall for my garage if I do it, we'll see. I love this damn thing though, it's so comfortable and smooth riding!

Make sure you get rid of those pirellis before winter or you'll kick yourself if you don't. You could always just take out the rear blocks and it will level it out without raising up the front, that way it will still fit in your garage. Also, if you want the smooth painted flares, either get ahold of a set of 09-10 lariat flares or have Pat sand down yours and paint them.

You have a standard 16 x 7 garage door? If so you'll fit it in there fine with it leveled. In fact many members on here have 6" lifts and they still clear the 7' garage door. Of course those are the 04-08 trucks with the 6" lifts but still. Do the level! They look soooo much better imo.

I'm already thinkin of the flares....the plastic doesn't look the greatest, they would be so much better painted. As far as the tires go, A guy I work with has an 09 scab with the pirellis and he said he did OK last winter, he was happy with the way they were. I was just readin the tirerack reviews too and most people said that they were OK in the winter. I'll probably run em for at least this winter.

Very nice FX4! The NBS trucks have definitely grown on me.

Has anybody thought about getting a meet together? I don't mind driving for a more central location.
