I am wanting to tint the windows in the blazer, Can you guys post up some pics of what yours look like so that I can decide how dark I want to go.

Oregon is pretty strict on their tint laws. When I was in college, I had an Escort GT with dark tint. I went for about 6 months before I got pulled over and given my first ticket. After that, I got 3 more within a week. I finally pulled the tint off the front door windows and the rear hatch glass. That was about 15 years ago, so double check the laws before you spend money.

I live in a small town, cops are fairly laid back, Unless your a hoodlum they pretty much leave you alone, A couple of them have even given me the thumbs up passing by, Just wanting to see pics of what everyone has done

The local cops weren't the problem, it was the state troopers.

I don't have any tint on my truck so I can't post any pictures. I'll check my work computer tomorrow to see if I've collected any pics of trucks with tint.

What color is your truck?

Nope... My front windows are not tinted so it's okay. I drove it like that for about years. My top has been off for three years now. The only issue I worry about now is a cop pulling me over for the front tires sticking out further than the front fenders.

Weld Racing Super Single II - 15x10

Funny you ask... I ordered a spare to mount inside from Summit Racing a couple weeks ago. The wheel showed up at my door with a ding on the lip. I just sent it back to exchange for one that is not damaged.
