Your truck looks better with the black handles because you have so much black elsewhere to compliment them. My truck is exactly the same color as yours but I added a little bit of chrome trim to it and I personally think the painted handles would look better on my truck but not yours. Yours looks fine like that! Not telling you what to do but I think if you reversed the colors on the emblems; black emblem with chrome letters and numbers or just paint them all black that would look great.

@Buck: Your truck is too nasty man does she have a name? And the view is just wow Denver, CO maybe? BTW your taillights what is that? Are those smoked taillight covers or that **** that you paint on?

I actually just got back from checking out different tint places. And the average cost was about 100. But the places themselves were kinda ****ty looking so i was second guessing myself. Then i went to this one place, and the guy said "I can get you for $120 35% in the front and 5 % all around." I don't mind dishing out the extra 20 for what i KNOW is gonna be good quality. I saw this BADASS truck come out of there. So i got an appointment for tommorow afternoon, after i get my tires. So hopefully i'll get some pics up.

This a good deal? and what's the differnce between 5% and limo tint?

And what do you mean by eyebrow? I'm assuming the front part of the windshield right?


Lol well i turned 18 on March 8th, i've caught my self saying 17 a couple of times already. But i did get my truck when i was seventeen (in May). I just need advise on trucking in general. We have a shop here named Truckers World, but i'm just afraid to even park there, i swear to God i can walk under every truck thats there and i'm about 5'9" lol a bit intimidating so i'll wait till i get my tint and other aesthetics before i go performance.


This forum is pretty bad*** not even gonna lie.

Buck

Thanks, and Im with ya on the black handles look

Buck

Thanks. I really haven't named her. That view is of The foothills of the Sierras in Reno Nevada where I live. Many people dont realize that Nevada is actually the most mountainous state in the nation. The tailights are just sprayed on nightshades. I am eventually going to get some black LED tails when I can afford it.

id throw either pioneers or trios i like 12s. theres not much difference of sound between them. either flow masters or twin glass packs but true performance is no cats but its illegal. put twin tubes from headers back with high flow cats and either flow masters or glass packs would sound great me personally would toss the cats out the door

Thanks for the feedback guys. I have like appointments at 2 auto body shops and **** lol. As for my truck with the tires and tint... they will be up tomorrow night after i show them off at the beach lol. So i guess i'll keep you guys in suspense. Check out my truck in the meantime as it is.

Yes $120 is a good deal if your getting the eyebrow, and yes the eyebrow is the strip of tint you usually see on peoples windshields at the top. If it's $120 without the eyebrow and you want it, it's gonna come out to like $140, about the same as mine. Unless their having a special, tint prices do not fluctuate much their pretty universal, I think they charge about $25 per window and $20 for the eyebrow. Limo tint is vague, as long as it's 5% or less most people call it limo, I heard that on some limo's they go with 1%.

Buck's truck is a good example of how if you want to do "blacked out" the black wheels are probably the best investment.

**** i didn't get the eyebrow i forgot to ask lol. But it's all good mine has this surprisingly dark blue one and i like it. Got my tint done today, you guys should go check out my album in a couple minutes and compare and contrast and leave some comments or some ****. Well i got my tint done, and made a new friend so it's all good. I also got my tiers today and i'm actually gonna sell them to the guy that owns the shop where they did my tint. He said " name a price" i was like "80 a tire" i think that's pretty good. The tires have about 25k on them. But thanks for the help guys.

Yeah i agree, what kind of rims are those buck?

JonBeBonanza

I just went ahead and update the OP with some before and after pictures. Thing to notice are the seasons, one has the trees full ov leaves and the other doesn't i think that's pretty cool. My neighbors apparently keep their trash can in the same place lol. Oh yeah the before pic features one of my cousins two trucks. In the before pic you see an 02' F-250 with some nice mufflers rims (although not seen in the pic) and it has some others modifications on it not too sure what exactly. And in the after you see his 2009 F-250 Super Duty, that one is just badass, it has the works. Oh yeah and my mom's 04' explorer lol.

But other than those things the main focus is the tires and tint. I really like the tint and am highly satisfied with how it came out. But the tires are a bit ehh to me. May be it's the rim idk. But i can feel like i'm higher in my truck and there's less space between the before and after one so maybe they're bigger idk. I should invest in some rims.

Well that's just a little update. Should be ordering the smoked taillights tonight. I decided to order the taillights first, and try to find a can of this Nightshade stuff and just apply coats to the headlights and 3rd brake light while i save up some quick cash to get some covers for the headlights. Good idea?
