Default Some goodies !

I have been kinda lurking here lately but I have been hard at work on smokahontas.

I re tinted the side and rear windows at 5% and the front windshield all the way down at 35%.

I got a spectre cold air intake

Upgraded my head unit to a pioneer avh2300 DVD double din

Upgraded speakers in the truck to infinity kappas components in the front and kappa coaxle in the rear.

Side exit dual exhaust with flowmaster muffler

Why would you tint the whole windshield? Seems dangerous

It's really not that bad. I've had a few buddies drive my truck and they can see just fine at night and during the day it blocks the heat and light.
The only time I have had any trouble thus far is when I drove to my buddy's house down an old dirt road with no streetlights.

its illegal for 2 reasons
1. It obstructs your vision... makes it harder to see
2. It makes it harder for cops to see you... If you were a cop would you want to approach a vehicle you couldnt see in? There have been a lot of cops that have been shot by druggies because the cops couldnt see they were pulling a gun

For some with a presciption it is allowed by law to tint the front windshield for all others....it's illegal. If I was going tint the front I would have gone like 45%. I got pulled over for having 5% on my rear windows. I just stay legal now with my receipt stating my front windows are 35%. I would only tint the front this dark if I had a show car that wasn't driven on public roads and just trailered around. However it does look nice! Just be careful because at night it just makes everything harder to see.
