So, about a month ago, I posted a thread for advice for my next mod. Forum members voted between me getting my windows tinted or me getting a mufflex exhaust. Window tint won by a few votes.

Today I went to the poppy fields with the family. I decided to post a few photos of the results of the tint. Turned the factory tint on the rear three windows into 22%. The front driver and passenger into 35% with carbon. I also tinted my whole WINDSHIELD to 55% carbon. I am particularly pleased with the windshield. I would not recommend going darker.

Anywho, here are some photos. While sitting inside, it is very easy to see out. On the outside, however, it is very hard to see in. I love it. The carbon tint on the front half should help ease the sun damage on my interior over time.

After viewing the photos. Please vote on which of the two mods I should do next. Vararam intake or exhaust e-cutout (davidram inspired).

Close up shot of the windshield. The 55% works great. Easy to see through when you are driving. Hard to see in from the outside.

It was super bright out. As you can see, easy to see through. At night, it is easy to see through also. Offers great privacy. I love it.

Last photo. Enjoy. Total cost of the tint, from a family friend, cost me $300. I got a quote from another place, without the hookup, they wanted $450.

Like I stated. Help me pick my next mod. Vararam intake or exhaust cutout. I already have 1 vote for cutout :)

How much of a difference did it make at night compared to stock?

What is Ew? Roflmao. You don't need a badge for someone to know it is a hemi. If they don't know the badge won't help. Lmao

Uhmm, did you seriously just type "Ew" ? . . . LMAO . . . If you need a badge for someone to know you got a Hemi, then you need a new exhaust . . .




Why do you still have the hemi badge?

That's for sure. I just prefer the white and am considering removing the black wrap between windows. I had the black hemi flat black with red 5.7 but held up to truck looks out place. To each his own. Still nice ride.

Ok guys, looks as if my thread took a turn for the worse. Sense we are on the topic of de badging. Here is my opinion. First, EW. Second, the only people who de badge are dudes who drive BMWs. They don't want everyone to know their cheap ass bought a 3series. Instead, they put an exhaust on, cool rims......and try to confuse people into thinking....that maybe.....just maybe....they have the M series.

You see guys, when you have the M-series, you want to show it off. Everyone should know what's up. Now, I want everyone to know what's up with my Hemi. Hemi power!! Hense my name. When I see a debadged truck, I assume they are just covering something up. "I want everyone to think I got a Laramie. But I opted for the express with a v6." Or my favorite "I ****** up and bought a 2wd truck. Damn I am a *****. If I debadge, no one will be the wiser that I didn't get a 4x4."

I don't want to offend. I am just saying. Sometimes the truth hurts.

So far it looks like exhaust cutout is in the lead.
