Finally decided on a tonneau cover. It'a a Jason Dimension bought locally for $725 total installed. It's a really clean looking cover. Thanks to Rasch, F150npump, Whiskeytango, and y'all for help in deciding. More pics in the signature.
I also got the front windows tinted for $40 out the door.

Go 4rd It,

What percent tint did you get and where did you get it? I would like to tint mine but want to keep it legal. Thanks.

rmar,
I got 35 percent tint on the front windows only. Legal is 50 percent (in Virginia, check your local laws. Someone had a tint law link somewhere here. I don't remember where). The installer told me the rears and back are 20 percent. I really wanted 20 percent to make it look balanced all around, but feared ticketing. Although I'm not legal, I'm closer to legal than 20 percent, so I don't fear being stopped. (Don't tell on me to the cops.) Visually, there is a difference between the front and back, so I don't think I'll have a problem. 50 percent is a waste, I think; hardly any difference from stock. (True, 50 percent still cuts glare, provides UV protection, and keeps the truck cooler inside.)

I got the job done at Elite Image here in Richmond. I don't know where you live, but get a shop that'll put a quality tint on. The tint they use is 3M.

visually, 50% does not look like much, but believe me it dramatically decreases glare and also protects your interior from sun fade.

Hey guys,
I know in Texas the legal limit on the driver and passenger side is 32% and the rear is 5% (darkest tint made). Plus the Texas cops aren't near as strict on the tint as ya'lls maybe. Any who pick my truck up tomorrow, pretty exciting. Take it easy

 

GO 4D IT-

Truck looks great. Hope you like that Jason lid. Still no complaints on mine.

BTW - I dropped off my vehicle this morning to have my new "correct" radiator put in. I will post this afternoon when the mission is complete!
