Awesome! How do you guys feel about the window tinted strip at the front? I've been contemplating from a pure aesthetics if it looks nice or just do the whole windshield?

I have an 8" limo tint strip on my windshield, along with, IIRC, 50% tint. I LOVE it!! It really helps in that transition between almost needing and needing the visor. Highly recommended!!

Blocks a lot of sun when driving plus feeling of more privacy.

Don't know how much this will help. If you want, I'll try again when the sun is in a better position.

Yup. My wife has very sensitive skin and prior to tinting she would actually get sunburned through the windows.

Wow, that comes down pretty low but it looks good. I wonder what Aaron would charge to tint the whole windshield?

Things are probably cheaper there, but, IIRC, tinting my windshield was something like $350. He threw in the strip gratis.

First disconnect the negative cable from your battery for an hour. After an hour has elapsed you can remove the air bag using a small screw driver. There is a small hole on the back and underneath the bottom of the steering wheel. Insert the screw driver, push up and it will release. Then you have to disconnect two wires on the inside once you've popped it out. You can see videos on youtube the shows exactly what I just explained for more clarity.

It took about an hour to complete, but that was because I had to swap over the control buttons. It take about 20 minutes to swap the steering wheel if your control buttons are already in the new steering wheel.

Cleaned and conditioned the leather seats
