So far so good....
I have been shopping for an all-black, and I thought that has to be a "Limited", it turns out that this one is just an EB, not a LTD??

Thanks guys! I bought it from a PP who bought it new in '04. It has 60k miles and has a few door dings here and there but overall it is good. He had some premium wheels on it but I swapped them with the OEM ones because I just want the truck to look stock and stealthy.

It has the 5.4 engy, Nav, moonroof, heated/cooled seats and leather. The only thing it does not have is the DVD. Too bad for my 9 year old.

I am going to darken the front 2 windows to match the other privacy glass.

Try to tint it as close as possible to 17-18% and it should match.

The tinting place said the factory tint looks like 20%. WA laws allow no less than 35%, but they say lots of people do 20% anyway so I think I am going for the 20%.

Yea, I think I have 20 on mine, even though Florida law is 27% (or is it 28%) on front windows. The only people who really check are state troopers who have the little machine. Most cops don't really care since it does get pretty hot here in Florida.

its an "Eddie Bauer Premiere" they come with the lower trim painted basically they are like the limiteds of 03/04, and couldnt't have been a limited because the limiteds have the navigator roof rack and mirrors with paint to match caps

oh and the rims are OEM f150 rims...

oh and did you remove the cross bars from your roof rack? loving that look
