Loving Area 51 Maverick XLT FX4 more each day, especially after limo tint + 50% windshield tint (owner's review)

Brice · Oct 16, 2021

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.

Found a madlad

Looks good, does 50% make night driving a bit weird?

Just did it today. Not sure yet.

Looks great! Thanks for posting the pictures.

Looks great!

PSA: Don't discuss or answer any questions about tint legality....even though the thread included talk about the tint and people might want to know. Looks like we've been moderated....

Certainly looks good, but I would NOT want to drive that at night! Yowza.

We've had 50% tints on front windshields of a few cars, but my issue has always been clarity and I won't do it anymore after having had the last one removed. Even with the most expensive tint, and highly regarded (and different) tint shops, it would create a slight haze/blur on headlights of oncoming cars at night at certain angles. And you could see this during the day if you looked for it.

For me, once I see something it cannot be unseen. I really wish it wasn't like that because I think it looks good, but I just couldn't stand it.

Delzona · Oct 16, 2021

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!

BigT · Oct 16, 2021

Looks nice but I don’t think I would be comfortable driving with a tinted windshield.

A dark tint can also make it hard for other drivers to see you. You can often judge the intentions of another driver by watching their faces and where they are looking. Dark tint takes that advantage away.

Window tint just gives cops a reason to pull you over...

So do broken tail-lights, expired inspection stickers, not wearing seat-belts etc.

This is true. Which is why I try to avoid driving around with those as well!
