Guys, decided that I might as well install the Lamin-x tint that I ordered for my fogs so that they don't steal your attention when looking at the front end. I didn't realize the stuff had been delivered until I was leaving to take the pictures I posted earlier, so I figured I would put it off for a while...that lasted a few hours. :D

First of all, just the feel of the stuff will tell you it's high quality. When I read that it was vinyl, I was a little weary. I've used vinyl before to black out the b-pillars on my '04 and will use the same stuff to change the OEM matte black b-pillar blackouts on my '10 to gloss...but this stuff is totally different. It literally feels like a stack of five or more sheets of regular vinyl (and the stuff I use is intended to letter Navy aircraft....don't ask :D). This stuff is THICK. I just followed the "wet" instructions and it took me a whopping total of 15 minutes - start to finish.

I'm also shocked, but it doesn't seem like it blocks much if any of the light output. Now, I have HIDs, but still, it didn't block much and I can't see it being much worse with halogens. I will DEFINITELY be ordering their kit to do my tails!

Now, don't get me wrong, I didn't use Lamin-x on my '04's b-pillars, I used a regular vinyl that a friend provided that is not translucent at all.

Here's what it looked like on my '04:

My windows were a LOT darker on that truck than they are on my '10...I'm going with the exact same setup on the new truck once I stop finding other things to spend my money on.

You deff matched the heads to the fogs. Your new truck looks great and will keep on getting better.

Hey do you think just regular black window decal vinyl will work or do I need to find something thicker? There is a place right here in town that does decals, I could get it from them.

A gloss black vinyl from a decal shop would be fine...just tell them how you plan to use it so you get the right stuff.
