[QUOTE=bigpappaholt;1546097]Here are a few pics as i bought her. Got 17% tint on side windows to match factory rears and 35% on the whole front windsheild. Plan on tinting my taillights and 3rd break light, but not too dark thou. Also i think i already have some exhaust or something, it seems quite louder than stock would be. I also am going to order HIDS this week. whats Air intake would you guys recommend? any other mods that help with mpg's at all? thanks

good looking truck. i didnt know it was legal to tint your windshield. if you want to tint your tails, buy some VHT nite shade. thats how im going to black them out. i like K&N the best but on ebay you can get a CAI for well under $100 with a K&N air filter compared to the $300 for basically the same CAI from K&N itself

I think he means the top strip on the windshield. Because yes, it is illegal to tint the front windshield except that strip. So much as I have heard at least.

welcome to the forum and congrats on being a new ram owner. if i may make a suggestion...go with the AEM brute force CAI, i just put one on my '08 and i'm very impressed, more so than i was with my K&N 77 series i had on my '05.

It was 200 for the front 2 windows and the whole front windsheild (included removing the tint the previous owner had on the front 2 windows). the back window and the 2 back door windows already had factory tint. The front 2 door tint almost matches the factory tint perfect..... i think Friday its going to be sunny so ill take a few pics then!
