A few fall upgrades - Eibachs and Tint

[Chico]

I’m not a fan of the stripes either; I’m hoping to get them taken off soon.

It cost me $800 to have the hood painted black to match the roof and also to have the holes filled where the front license plate bracket was

How far off the ground are those mud flaps now?

I haven't measured but to date far enough.

What kind of lug nuts did you buy?

I picked up the ones from Amazon. A quick search on the forum should give you the details.

Thank you for sharing can you tell us what the cost of the lowering spring kit was and how much your shop charge to install everything?

I bought them direct from Eibach for $355. I'm lucky in that one of my sons did the installation. So it cost me Sunday dinner.

I did install the tint. Tint effect sells pre cut kits for the Maverick and if you watch one of the many videos on YouTube and pay attention to the instructions it goes pretty easy.

20% looks great in the sun, and from the outside.
But when it gets Dark [outside], and you're on the inside looking out, 20% is really dark.

I know, I'm getting old.
I'm a big fan of tint in the hot sun, but 30-35% is the max i'd prefer on my front sides. With good ceramic film, the darkness isn't as big of a deal. other than for 'matching' and for 'looks'.

Yeah, get a recognized ceramic tint brand and you won't have night vision issues from the driver position

The dealer didn't make any front license plate brackets holes... but I did it... I'm having regrets now... we'll that's life...

When I picked my truck up I asked the dealer "Where's the front license plate?" He just asked me " Do you go into the city (Chicago) much?" We live 35 miles west and no, we really don't. He told me to not worry about it because none of the police out here care but if I need it it's under the back seat.

I've never had any issues but now I have the Mabett no-drill front license plate holder now. Seems pretty solid.

I chickened out, I shouldn't
