Where’d you order the 6 high mod from?

Boost auto parts, but if you want to just use the auto fog mod it’ll do the same thing.

I finally tinted my truck. My buddy who owns a window tint and remote car starter business was out with shoulder surgery. Longest 2 months of my life without tint. I tinted the entire truck with 30% window tint. Went over the back for the kids to make it a bit darker than factory, and also put on a 5% strip on over front windshield. Nice and cool in the truck now! 

 

Iowa has terrible tint laws, so we can't go real dark on front windows. I used to go 5% all the way around when I didn't live here.

Mine is worse. Toddler grabbed my keys and dropped the tailgate while the garage door was down. I came outside, slapped the door opener and started to load her into the carseat when I realized I kept feeling a slight bump and hearing some rubbing noise at same time. 
 

By the time I climbed out of the back seat the door was past and I have a nice gouge in the paint there. 
Thankfully the aluminum doesn’t rust.

Started tinting my chrome this morning. Figured a white truck would look good with white in the cab. So, I ordered some satin white vinyl. I think it’s turning out really well. And most importantly, I’m not getting blinded by the chrome. Still gotta finish the rest.

About about to do the same in carbon fiber black.

I’m assuming the chrome around the AC vents does not come off of that piece?

Not sure. It looks like it could, but I wasn’t gonna try it. If ya got an exacto-knife, you’ll be alright.

Anyone figure out how to take off the side vents chrome bezel

Not sure. I’m gonna poke around on youtube. They look like they’d come off. But, if I gotta wrap em in the truck, that won’t be too awful bad.

Tell me about your garage floor. Did you DIY? Got a link to the specific product? It looks great.

    • Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra. 
    • I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

    • What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.
    • People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.
