Holy Toledo! Ohio... that looks GREAT! (love the color, too)
Tell me more about the side winder tints; they look almost identical, and I'd like to do the same but I think the rear factory "privacy glass" tint may be too dark for the fronts... I really like when the front/rear tint matches but also when it's not too thick. The white wall in the background may be throwing me.
What else do you have planned for this bitchin! Lariat? Coyote-powered, too? WIN.

But also, there's usually no limit for the second row windows so you may as well layer some film over them to get 'em even darker and stop that much more heat as well. JMO
Besides, if the second row is dark, the front windows look less dark by comparison, and it can be a little easier to get less notice to below-limit fronts that way

...others prefer a more matt/factory/natural look.
You are correct! sir.
In other news...
Thanks blkz28 for the input. As I said, I like it when the side windows match. If it were doable, I'd lighten the rears just a hair then match the fronts to them.
they are gloss black. Wheels are the grey SE wheels. Either black or chrome. They look ok to me, truck needs washed pretty bad but we got snow coming.
When I did my front shocks a few days ago I had 5 get stuck in the socket so figured it was time to upgrade.

I appreciate that. The front two windows are done in 20%, which matches the rear factory tint. I do not struggle seeing out of them at all, and police have never given me a hard time (also had it on my last truck).
Planning to install fox coil overs with a 2in level, wheels and tires, and cat-back exhaust. Also wouldn't be opposed to throwing a Whipple on it down the road, haha.

You can't lighten the rears, there is no film on them, thats the color of OEM glass.

Bought a new 2020 F150 a couple weeks ago.
Today I installed and a .
Both went on OK. The mud guards come with little strips to protect the paint. I put them on, but the guards don't seem to touch the truck where they're placed. There's probably a 1/16th or less gap. They come with metal clips you're supposed to put on but they have sharp pointy bits that I didn't want to scratch up the paint with. I went with the Husky's over WeatherTech because WeatherTech has you remove a whole plastic piece from the truck and I didn't want to do that. The Husky's seem sturdy enough.
My wife installed a .
Next is a tonneau cover and then a bed liner.
