I finally got tints put on. Formula 1 Pinnacle ceramics in 15% for the front driver and passenger side front windows. Best I can tell, they match up with the factory stuff in the back well. I'll know more when I put my tint meter on them after my few days wait to roll them down. I was debating the Llumar and Huper Optik films and finally decided to go back to F1 since I've got it on my car and have had zero problems. Llumar was a close second. Huper, well, that's just expensive as hell and rather thick for glass that needs to be able to go down into door so I can either spit or throw something at someone.

Now, a levelling kit is next.

Shoot, don't spit. You'll only have to do it once to get your point across to them. :lol:

 

Truck looks great, 'cept for them badges and crooked Z71 stickers. :lol:

Your tint looks good. I ended up going with Llumar 15% ceramic on mine and I am pleased so far. I've had it on my wife's bimmer for a while now and no issues so far. Pinnacle wasn't an option for me since my tint guy doesn't deal in it but I've read some really good things about it.

Matt (Bowtie2Sierra), my guy doesn't work with Llumar. That was basically the deciding factor for me, as well. A buddy had his Yota tinted up with the Llumar last week and it looks great. Of course, I told him he had to tint it limo since nobody really needs to be seen driving in one of those.

Your tint looks great. I just went to the F1 website to look for a dealer near me. Closest one was 3 states away. Is this tint something that the average guy can do himself? If so, where can I buy the material?

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
