I'm getting quotes for about $30-$40 per door

Or you can buy precut tint online from companies like www.snaptint.com

It's not that hard and it drops the cost to about $25 depending on what you buy adn they have up to 80%

better than what we have in AK. NO aftermarket tint allowed at all on front windows. not sure about rears. prescription is ok. tried challenging a tint ticket monday, found out exactly what the law was 1/2 hour before court--which cancelled out my entire argument and defense. judge cut the fine in 1/2 since it was in my old truck, and no longer being driven. 10 minutes before my hearing, it dawned on me---now that i have a new truck, i dont care about my old one, and i shouldve ripped it all off. DAMMIT!!! and of course, the cop showed up too

And its also good if you like to look at people in other vehicles because they cant see you lol

Your truck is identical to mine. Exact, except I have the chrome package and billet grill. I had mine tinted to match the back. They said it was one shade darker than allowed, but I do not expect any problems as I have shown it to a couple cops around here and they said it was fine. $55 for both front windows. The tint is Solar Guard, Lifetime warranty and transferable. 15%. I don't know how I ever drove without tint. It's so much better.

I have LLumar Ceramic tint, lifetime warranty on any defects including scratches and will never fade. 100% harmful rays protection. Real pricey stuff but worth it for me

My truck has 5% on the rears on top of the stock 25%, 5% on the fronts, and 35% on the front windshield. This is extremely dark though, no matter the time of day, i cannot be seen.
Went to the beach the other day and left a cold water bottle in the truck, came back 5 hrs later and it was still cool.

Hawaii resides on the same latitude as the world's hottest deserts, the sun here is no joke...Had to protect the truck... lol i've only ever had my AC on the first notch since i did the tint, never gets hot enough for any higher..

thanks, i am going to 4wheel parts this weekend to order me a stage2 procomp, 18 or 20" rims, and 37" tires.... Already priced it with them but need to go over some more details. I'm heading over to the dealership before to go over the lifetime powertrain warranty to see if this voids the warranty. I'm hoping to record the conversation so it can't be dismissed later on..
