    How dark is factory tint?

    Yeah secondary offense that's pretty much what he was saying.. He's been a Trooper for almost 15 years and he has only pulled over once for the tint alone... Very rarely ever tickets for it unless it is insanely dark. Thanks

    How dark is factory tint?

    I will probably go with 35. I have a good friend who is a Trooper in NYS and he said that he only stops and writes tickets for tint when they are extreme. If they drive by and can see inside then they usually won't stop you. Thats his opinion of course you never know which cop is having a bad...

    How dark is factory tint?

    Ok so consider me "stupid" to the percentages of window tinting but I live in NY and the law says that the fronts have to be 70%. Now I know when you are talking abou the law having to allow 70% of the light to pass thru.... when you talk about the strength of the tint I hear alot about 20%-35%...

    Speaker Pods

    Thanks I am wondering if there is a brand tweeter that would be able to "surface" mount near the upper part of the rear pillars? I remember seeing a long time ago tweeters that come with an option to surface mount instead of behind the door panels...

    How dark is factory tint?

    How dark does Ford tint the rear windows? I want to tint the front windows to match but would rather not go darker or lighter than the back. I live in NY so our legal limit is 70 percent all the way around. Something tells me that the factory is a little darker than 70 percent. Any ideas?

    Speaker Pods

    Does anyone know if they make speaker pods for a 2011 Expy? I am looking to add speakers to the back of my truck. It only has speakers in the front and middle doors making it hard to hear the music in the rear seat. I am hoping that someone knows of these or other ways to mount new speakers...

    Smoked head lamp conversion

    How would you smoke them yourself? Can you open the housing? wouldn't that allow for moisture to get in and fog the lens? Thinking 600.00 for two oem's aren't worth it after all. Thanks for your input

    Window Tint

    I want to put tint on my front windows. I live in NY and the law states that you have to have 70% light to pass thru in order for it to be legal... I like the looks of the 35. For the ones who have tinted front windows could you suggest a grade that would come close to matching the factory...

    Adding a sub

    My Expy did not come with factory sub or amp. I am wondering if the Expy's that did not come with the Mach sound systems would still have the same room or enclosures built in that a sub could be added? I didn't want to tear apart the back of my trunk to find out before I checked with you guys...

    Extended warranty

    Yeah I bought mine through a Ford dealer but it was a year old so no extended warranty through Ford. The warratny company (Guardian) seems to have alot of complaints online so I did not go with it. Looks for a monthly payment of around 100.00 a month. Just don't want to get stuck with a lemon...
