As people age their vision goes to a point where they cannot (or should not) drive at night.
Not true where I live. Nearly everyone has tint because it helps keep vehicles cooler in the summer. Only extra dark (illegal) tint on the front side windows or tinted windshields attract that kind of attention.
I just may get my fronts to match the factory rear.
California has one of the toughest Tint Laws in the country. Your truck looks fantastic but is just a question of time until they pull you over. First time you get only a warning and are asked to remove the tint. Second time 25 dollar ticket and order to remove the tint. Third time 200 dollars.California (your state?) doesn't have limits on window tint? I ask because I didn't know you could tint front windshields and I knew there was a limit on front side windows.Personally, I couldn't do limo tint because I find it too dark when driving at night, although I do like the look of it!
I didn't get that impression personally. Is this your first time driving a turbo vehicle? My 2.0 non turbo Focus is much louder than this Eco 2.0 and produces 90 less HP. I am sure if it really bothers you an engine cover and maybe some under hood and firewall insulation could help. If you don't have a Lariat you can look into acoustic windshield films as well. It won't be as good as a factory installed one sandwiched between glass, but I am sure these will be available aftermarket at some point if you ever need to replace a windshield.
EVERYONE HAS THERE OPINION. I like it dark especially when I’ll be in my vehicle most of the day every day. I want like what op did and is what all my cars has and only had a problem with cops once in south Florida. They give 2 shits about tint
Yup I noticed this too
It won’t, I promise
Drove a Larait and XLT, Lariat was definitely quieter.
Wow that looks really nice! Personally, I will never go back to a dark tint - I had it on an Audi Q5 and during night drives it was challenging to view out the side windows. During the daytime - it was awesome! But would rather default to ease of driving during the day.... good luck and thanks for taking the time to give us all an overview!Just about 2 weeks of ownership with this truck and I’m loving it more and more by the day. The ride is great, the road noise is almost nonexistent, the acceleration is smooth and quick, it’s very comfortable, and the Area 51 far exceeded my already-high expectations. It looks different every time I walk outside. My only minor complaint is the engine noise. It’s a bit loud on acceleration, almost reminds me of a 2-stroke dirt bike, but it still sounds strong and has tons of power and response.
Got the windows tinted today - limo tint on the doors and back and then 50% tint on windshield. Love how it turned out. Hopefully these pics can help some others with an Area 51 coming to see what it will look like. I’m happy to answer any questions anyone may have.
