I believe i have darkest tint percentage on back sliding window and just light tint on the sides but looks darker due to the size of the cab being so small..

I don't mean to be rude, but it looked better with the steelies. The New rims don't fit the square-ness of the truck. Maybe if you lowered the *** end a little bit. Other then that, the truck looks good!

Naw its cool...the bed is on blocks and i may take them out and lower it but thats how it was when i bought it. As far as the rims go there are so many old f150's around where i live that are all beat up and used for all types of hauling, towing, and plowing which is great because to me this is the truck that helped build america. But I decided that i wanted to let people see alittle of the old mixed in with the new....also you balance out square-ness but adding touches of round or circular shapes....but i guess it all comes down to personal taste...thanks though
