Important!: Ming Ming's 2016 Tacoma build thread

why did you quote it after I corrected the comment? Clearly I posted the correction.

Also, show me where it is 70% from the factory.
 
This would be the first I've heard of the windshield coming that way. I'll check and see. If so it will be labeled as the side window is.
 
The way I understood it was factory tint is a color of the glass, aftermarket is a film. This is why you can tint over factory. If that makes sense. I could be totally wrong. I don't think the windshields get the same treatment the Windows get.

All I'm trying to say and I think Aaron is trying to say is that clear untinted automotive glass in itself is not 100% clear there is some visible light that is lost when it passes through the glass which accounts for the speculated 70-85% VLT

This^ lol. Not trying to be mr know it all here, just trying to help you out so you (or Tezra) dont get surprised when an officer pulls you or her over for the windshield tint. You probably wont get bothered above 50 but if it were me, 50 is the lightest I'd put on a vehicle.
 
I want it more for uv blockage. I see what you are getting at, but I never knew the windshield to be included in that 70% range. That's all I was trying to get at. That being said, the untinted application is legal in Texas. If I add 70 to a speculated 70 I'm not harming anything. All I'm doing now is blocking uv rays.
 
Any way, back on track, Dakota and you photoshop the konig six shooters in matte bronze on this truck with some 285s?

Yeah, I actually stumbled across them the other day and then found they are Konig this morning. I really the TRD forged wheels, but they are like $350 a pop from Toyota, she wont pay that much, I can guarantee it.
 
That crystalline tint is crazy. Just saw it last week getting my buddies truck done. Dude had a glass cube with a lamp in it and each glass panel had different tints and you could spin the cube to put each panel in front of the light. Cheaper the tint, worse the heat transfer was. Get to crystalline, almost no heat transfer. :mindblown:
