Tinted Front Windows and Blacked Out Top of Headlights

[k2rizzle]

Will definitely do some Tremor videos if she keeps it. I was already thinking of going to an off-road course and doing "clearance vs. clutch" to see which truck did better. My lifted FX4 has better ground clearance than the Tremor, but of course the Tremor has the dual locking rear clutches. Would be interesting, for sure...

Oh, and on the RokBlokz, yes very happy with them. Since I bought them I can't say I am tuned into what other options may have come along. But I'm not aware of anyone else offering anything better than them for the Maverick. Of course, there are tons of "universal fit" options out there that I am sure you can attach to your Maverick, but I am very satisifed with my decision. A little pricey but once you've spent the money and moved on you will never think about the $150 again.

Awesome, thanks for the reply. RokBlokz being a no drill option with some horizontal adjustment built in is pretty nice. Plus I hate how the Ford ones touch the paint on the side.

Looks great! Questions on front window tinting? Did you do 70%? How is it at night? Whoops after re reading I see you did the front sides not wind shield.

I did 70% ceramic tint on my windshield. It's not noticeable at all and it cuts down on the heat for sure!

Thanks much for your input! Here in AZ that’s a big deal. Of course lighting at night is quite restricted where I live so night vision is a factor to consider as well.

I'd be wary of that part of the housing getting hotter in the sun and causing it to crack over time. You might want to feel for any big difference in temperature between the top and bottom of the lights later this summer.

yep in addition to the heat some of those vinyl wraps, give off gases that discolor clear plastic or change paint colors. I’ve had that happen as well. You always have to consider that if you cover something it’s not gonna look the same when you uncover it.

Visited a local tint shop today to get my two front windows done to match the rears.

Also had them put some black satin vinyl wrap over the top portion of the headlight housing. The guy called it eyebrows. I guess it kind of does look like that.

FYI: This does NOT cover any functional lighting. There is nothing but a silver piece of plastic there on my XLT. It has LED up there on Lariat trim only.

While I love my Maverick the way she is (mostly convenience and lighting mods, very few appearance mods), gotta appreciate the versatility of the Maverick and the imagination and engineering of its owners. Great post!

Sorry for the noob question but what is a ceramic tint? Is that something you applied yourself or have a shop do for you?

thanks!

Neat look with the blacked out DRL spots, though it did immediately make me think you should name the truck Groucho now

Different type of material from your standard window tint film. Blocks out more UV rays. It can be done as a DIY project but I choose to have the pros do it. I think i had all my windows and windshield done for around $300ish

Nice Ride ! Do you like your bug deflector? Looking to get one . Is that best one ? Stick on ? Thanks !

Tell me about this process. Was it a clear ceramic film to cut down on the heat?

I did my front windshield with a ceramic tint of 75% I have no issues seeing at night, I didn't want to match the rear windows on the driver and passenger windows but went 50%. My Maverick has a sunroof so I had the ceramic tint placed on the sunroof too. I have to say, my Maverick has to be one of the coolest cars (Temp wise) I have owned.

I'm not understanding the question, what process? I had 70% installed on the front windshield.

BTW, I took my driver's test in a 1957 TR3.

I think it's the best LOOKING one for sure. Yes it sticks on with 3M double sided tape. It's the official Ford product.

There is also one that sits off the hood and covers the front of the fender panels too but I personally think that I've looks ugly as heck.

To each his/her own.

LOL ok i should have said the sunroof process.....i had not thought about it.
Look at my you tube Mac's Tr3 Revival

The shop told me about it and it makes sense, I didn't do the read windows or back window.
