Well I finally found some time to get some work done on my truck last weekend. I totally de-badged (except for door spears, I like the protection they offer from door dings!), I also tinted my front two windows and did an 8 inch strip across the windshield! It looks killer if I do say so myself! I started with the "RAM 1500" then said screw it and pulled all the badges off! I found 3M makes some industrial adhesive remover that makes this process lots easier. I started using goo-gone but that didn't work well so an auto body guy at the bus-barn gave me a cup of the 3M stuff and it wiped the tape left behind right off. It was the first time I ever tinted windows on my own but it was easy enough, you just have to take your time and be very meticulous!

Lookin' good!

 

Tinting your own windows is definitly a meticulous project. Requires lots of patience. I gave it a shot once and after a 1/2 hour of squeeging I said the he!! w/ it. Kudos to you. Looks really good though nice work.

 

well what I didn't tell you is that it took 3 attempts...the first time went on perfectly but I didn't care for the color of tint and it was too dark(thats what I get for getting tint from Wally-world), second attempt got crud in between film and window on both sides, third time was a charm!

P.S. the key too tinting is buy descent film...I went to a local tint shop and bought my final tint...and also got some professional advise!

 

Looks good man!!!!! Here, let me see if I can put your pics up for ya instead of the links. I think I would take those door spears off too.

 

so for future references how do I put the pic up instead of links?

 

when you have the picture up on photobucket, right click the picture and select copy image location. Then come on here and click the button on the reply that looks like a mountain and the sun. Erase the http: that's already there. Then click copy and hit ok. Should show up. Atleast that's how I do it.

 

thanks teach! lean something new every day on this site!

 

No prob man!!!
