Quick picture of tint, the color match and % are spot-on perfect! I decided against the windshield strip for now.

What %? I may have to do this now... just hate cops in some towns, they break ***** for any tint on the fronts no matter how light.

20%, the rears are actually 24% according to his light meter. He said the feds told Ford to stop with such dark back windows (honestly, the rears on my 17 are much lighter than was on my 07. He said he does 2-3 new F150's a week and last year he finally found a tint that matches the back perfectly.

It is Scorpion brand. Made in the USA, lifetime warranty. I have used this installer before. He even removed the door panels to get it low enough on the window. Not sure if thats common or not. He did my 07 windshield visor, my sons 96 Ranger and a remote start on my old 07 Expedition. Always top notch work.

I am too, but solid black was just not exactly what I wanted. I have seen lots of Lightning Blue and Blue Flame with black and machined wheels and they look amazing.

For Tareed, I got black lugs, not chrome......lol

A couple of questions...

The online Ford performance catalog indicates that the part (M-3000-H) is for a 4x4... I thought you truck was RWD. Did I miss something here?

Also, the Ford installation instructions (with pics in PDF) show removal of the exhaust, fuel tank a bunch of other stuff... is this required? I don't think the aftermarket (non-Ford) shackles require this... or maybe I'm wrong.

What's involved in removing the tailgate emblem?

I'd like to drop my Lightning Blue XLT Sport, Screw like you did...

Yes, its says 4x4, but they fit fine.I didn't follow their instructions as they are absurd! Use fishing line to cut through the tape in the F150 emblem then clean up the residue with goo gone or the like. I use Invisible Glass to clean residue, then wax the area.

There's the Summers I know. Lol

I like the traverse. My brother has them on his Dodge, except in silver. They look sweet in person.
