2014 P-AWS Advance Window Tint

Just had my windows tinted and I also covered the chrome trim around the windows with vinyl wrap. My previous car was an '06 TL and I always liked the way there was no chrome around the windows. I may have lost some of the upscale look in favor of a more sportier look.

Very nice. And I am partial to GLM. The smoked chrome wheels might look good if you favor the stealthy black out treatment? Perhaps experiment with a vinyl spray on the wheels if you do not wish to invest with new wheels?

Although I'm partial the the look of chrome, I like the look of your ride. I think the color blends well. Also love that darker tint on a dark car. Gives the car a nice stance. I've had some issues with passing inspection in the past here in NC related to my window tint. Sometimes the recommended tint shops are not following the letter of the law when it comes to tint. What looks good, may not be legal. With that said, I'll probably have my windows legally tinted sometime this spring. I also noticed the spoiler, mud guards and the body side moldings. Is that the OEM spoiler? Looks very flush to the trunk.

Thanks, Tampa. I think I have been bitten by the Mod Bug. Trying to fight it off. Will probably look at changing up the wheels in the coming months. Would most likely be a darker color as you suggested.

Thanks. Front tinted windows are actually illegal in the Garden State. The tint company makes it a point to tell all customers, however it does not stop many people from tinting their fronts. We only have emissions inspection here so tinting will not be an issue at inspection time. We'll see how long they last on my car. Hopefully the authorities will not have to stop me for any other reason. I assume the spoiler is OEM. It was on the car when I purchased it this past November.

So that's what the decklid looks like. Could you take a picture of your truck?

I am going to go out on a limb here and say you did not want a picture of my 2000 F150 So here are a few shots of the trunk lid.





And another side view for good measure

Looks good! I'm definitely going to tint the windows. I'm on the fence about the chrome piece, I'm curious to see how it looks with a gloss black finish.
