Looks good with the black grille. I've also seen it in clear just to protect from rock chips.

Looks good! How much did the tint on the headlights diminish output? What % tint is it or is it a particular name (smoke, dark, light, etc)?

The tint is 20%, sold precut to fit headlight outline (eBay seller: slickmod). Seller also has 35% that can be ordered.

I anticipated a significantly diminished output so I put in Sylvania SilverStar zXe prior to the film. The lighting is still dimmed from stock, but it may be the difference between yellow light and white light.

Running low beams with the fogs and high beams without gets the job done just fine.

1x8 board for $5.00 indoor/outdoor carpet for $3.50 (only because the roll was 12 feet across and they made me buy a 1' by 12' section) Made a 3 sided box with the 1x8 and cut a slight angle on the 2 side pieces to match the angle of the seat bottom then wrapped the whole thing in the carpet and stapled from behind. Installed in the truck and screwed in place using existing holes in seat support frame. I then moved my jack and tools to the bed (bed is covered) and put an insert from an old guncase i had in the bottom.
