Default Ever Feel Naked In Your Truck?

...made y'all look, didn't I??

Since driving my new (untinted) Lariat (almost a week now!), I feel strangely exposed after having window tint on the (former) XLT.

Very few places (reputable) here in Tuscaloosa that do quality tinting, so I had to make an appointment and it's today at 12:30.

Going with Alabama's legal limit of 35% on both front windows, and am also going to add a bit lighter tint to the rear window, despite it being "privacy" glass. It's still too "transparent" for my taste.

And also a tinted windshield "brow" (wonder why Ford doesn't put a sunglare tint on the top of the windshields??).

Not that I would at my age, of course....cough cough....but I suppose, should I be so inclined...I can once again gawk at the pretty women without being too obvious.

I AM naked in my truck! (j/k)

I have the Blue Flame FX2 - so yes, I know what you mean. Just washed it too... makes it even worse.

Once I install my level and Terra Grapplerrs, black out my emblems and a few more things, I will be more then naked, I'll be a skeleton!

I truly am! Was totally worth the angst of my wishy-washy "should I...or shouldn't I"?

Last night, I reinstalled my tailgate LED light bar (which I had removed from the XLT). Really looks good (as a motorcyclist, I also like the increased visability at night).

I hope to get my windows tinted in the next few weeks *fingers crossed* I think I'm gonna go 20 though. So where are your pics of the tint now that it's done?

Just had mine done this past Tuesday. First time I've ever had tint.

Pics? How much tint? Thoughts, opinions? I'm a little apprehensive because I've never had tint before either

What does it cost to get the two front door windows done? I will need to get mine done when I get it. Thanks.

I've always assumed that is why the floor is flat in the back seat...?
