Default Tinted the windows, de-badged & tinted puddle lights

Had the front windows tinted with a high performance tint @ 18% and a strip on the windshield @ 5%. Removed all the badges on the sides and tailgate. Painted the rams head on the back while it was off. Going to let it dry overnight and stick it back on in the am. Also tinted the puddle lights with tinted vinyl. It really killed the LED's output so I cut it out on the underside where both white LED's are. I will get better pictures after I get it cleaned up from this rain.

I used twine (because I couldn't find my fishing line) to saw through the 3M sticky tape. Then used the 3M eraser wheel on my drill to cut through the left over tape. Then a quick wax and good to go.

You can but its recessed and there are 3 holes behind it so you would need a body shop to weld in a piece of metal to fill it in.
