I would say Tint or the Indash Check out the pioneer avh-P4300dvd if your looking for a touch screen and it has pandora integration which I think is sweet

don't do leather seat covers, you would be better off getting some protective seat covers that don't just look good but actually protect your seats. Having said that I would go for the in dash screen first and tinting second. On a side note, however, cloth seats do have their advantages over leather, in my opinion they are more comfortable, less sensative to temperature and far less easy to scratch or harm.

You can go dark on tinting if you want just do it at legal limit and it will still be dark.

If you choose in dash get tint as well to eliminate as much glare as possible on touchscreen.

Awesome truck btw

Around 15%-20% would match the factory tint. That's what I've done on my past two vehicles and I've never got in trouble for it. Cops don't seem to care about tint as long as you're not doing anything stupid.

I'd go for tint first, so some moron doesn't go, "oh look, he's got a decent deck, I should steal that..." Just a suggestion.

I'd go for the deck, and tint windows yourself you can get rolls from walmart for round about 20 bucks each I always do mine myself it's way cheaper and mine have been on there for 3 years and still looks great.

That's a real nice truck the wheels really set it off*

My front windows were 53 bucks to tint. Don't do it yourself. Damn man, you're parents must be doing alright to be able to give u an in dash deck for Christmas. I would be thankful for that on thanksgiving. Nice truck though.
