I just really wish I had a normal color scheme, white truck? I wouldn't hesitate to tint them. Another thing, when I stop I want people to know I stopped and not to run into me lol.
Will do for sure everything I do gets posted in at least 2 threads my build thread and the bs thread usually the what did you do to your truck today too lol but I can put one in here for ya or just check my build

I too occasionally wish I had a different color cause green is a had color to pair with but at the sane time I love it and how dark do you want me to tint them

What's wrong with the rear windows? And as long as you don't tint them too much with the spray tint then you should still be able to see them light up even in the light of day. And if you do make the tint too dark you can just sand it off and start over.

I follow you build and check the "what did you do to your truck today" daily, I am always on just not posting. Tint them however much or little you want, don't let me determine how dark on your truck. I want my darker but not black, just enough to cut down some red.

Ford had a genius idea to install a mirror tint on 97 and maybe 98 rear quarter windows and rear window. This is a photoshop of an old picture. I ordered the wheels and wanted to see how they would look on the truck. But look at the back window in the difference of the tint, the front was at 20% and the rear has that mirror tint to it.

Was this only for the f250 light duty trucks? Cause my 97 150 isn't like that. Or I don't recall the rear windows looking like that. I'd have to check tomorrow to be sure but I don't remove mine looking like that.

It may have only been for the first half of 97 or something
