Nice truck! I would tint your windows, VHT your tails, corners, third brakelight, and Ford ovals, paint your emblems, and plasti dip your bumpers. I just plasti dipped mine this weekend and plan on doing VHT soon. Let me know if you want more info.

ya in minnesota anything under 50% is illegal i hope i dont get bothered a bunch about it being as its a black lifted pickup with loud exhaust black rims and now tint.. either way im sure ill tint it

all the lights are tined with VHT spray taillights, 3rd brake light, and signal lights (which are pretty dark so i ordered red LED blinkers bulbs)

i was also thinking about painting my lower valance glossy to match the pickup

i am very interested in blacking out my grille and tailgate emblem but i would like to keep the F-150 on the tailgate and fenders chrome

As long as you're not stupid about exhaust you will be fine with 20%. IE gunning it with cops around lol. Having a black truck actually helps you with the tint issue because it makes your tint look lighter. Look at a black truck with 20% and then look at a white truck with 20%. The tint on the white truck will look waaayyy darker.
