AREA 51 Maverick Photos / Club

I just checked again and apparently Cali is allowed 70% in the front, which is pretty much nothing. I run around 30% in front with my current car and have never been pulled over for the tint. If cops want to pull you over it will be for something else (speeding, reckless driving, etc.) and tack on a fix it for the tint. There are a few states with no tint allowed.

As for your friend, cars are allowed to have the factory tint at any percentage and still be legal, at least in California. I have no idea how cops can tell a factory from an aftermarket tint, so another reason why it's a pointless law to enforce.

Awesome! Good to know.

That's nuts, so some states ANY tint on the front is illegal? I know some have percentage limits but geez. Also FWIW a friend of mine just bought a brand new Hyundai and it came from the factory with tint on the front windows.



The guy at the tint shop said the factory tint tested at 24% on his meter so he tinted the front at 20% and it matched perfectly.

Our trucks have factory tint up front as well.
As for telling the difference aftermarket tint will have edging from the film while factory tint is in the glass.

Also factory tint approximate VLT should be marked on the glass.

Picked up my XL hybrid today. Wendle Ford in Spokane honored the MSRP (ordered) price, and it went smoothly.

Love this truck!

Added to the Mav today:

• Vredestein Pinza AT 245/65 17's
• Cab spoiler
• Buschur's air intake

Coming from the Pirelli Scorpion ASRs, these Vreds look and handle so much better. Wider track, higher sidewall, slightly more aggressive tread that handles better (esp in the wet), while being quieter and retaining the agile turn-in characteristics of the Scorpions. All the snow melted so will have to wait to put them through the winter test.

Buschur's air intake adds an unmistakeable "whoosh" soundtrack to the Maverick. I've owned a few tuned/boosted cars so it's something I like to hear when driving (sometimes). It definitely won't be for everyone. The crappy radio can easily wash out the sound if needed.

Cab spoiler added about 20 HP. JK...just wanted to add something to make it look sportier.

Like the fender extensions. Where are they from?
