What is the depth of your garage??? I'm looking to have one built once this pandemic is over, and by the looks of that picture, I want it at least as deep as yours so I have room to move in front of and behind the truck when it's in there....

As promised, here it is in direct sunlight.
And another with a bit of shade which shows the grey-ish tint.
I forgot to ask and I didn't think to weigh it before, but in some of the research I did beforehand I found the consensus to be 50-100 pounds depending on size of vehicle. I haven't noticed any difference in driving so far. The tailgate is noticeably a little heavier. I will keep an eye on MPG to see if there's a change though I don't suspect it will change much if at all.
Haha, thanks. I was definitely nervous about how the color would turn out, but the sample they sprayed for me turned out ok and I knew the spray would be laid on well after seeing the work they did on my bumpers, grille, and running boards a few months prior.

10 feet gives you 36" for equipment / cabinets / work space on the front garage wall, and about 3' of walk space in front of and in back of truck. garage doors will take up a bit of depth as will a trailer hitch ball or needing to open tailgate.

It takes a bit of getting used to, but I live in a metropolitan area with plenty of streetlight. If I lived anywhere off the beaten path, I think I would opt for 15% or 20%. Every vehicle I've owned prior to this truck, I had tinted in 15% only to return a few months later to have it stripped and redone in 5%. I decided to skip that first step with this one.

Another step forward in blacking out of the new to me F150 and only $15 later...

Wrecked my baby back around Thanksgiving. Swerved to miss a deer, tangled with a bank of trees instead. Got it back in February, but have had lingering issues. Finally think everything is done after getting more paint work clean up at the body shop today. Before, during and after pictures.
