I have my windshield and windows ceramic tinted on my 2016 xlt lwb.... The front windsheild is 50%... Legally it's supposed to be 70%... The thing about the TC's is the windshield is big and allows more light to come in... I have factory privacy glass with 20% over it... The rear looks good, doesn't seem to be darker than 5%... The front doors looks lighter because the privacy glass isn't as dark... Our tint tickets here are $287 per window if you get caught...

Isn't it always a 50-50 chance something works or it doesn't.......? I'm just being a jacka$$.... I was going switch my fogs to LED's but got the 32" light bar instead... No fog here...

I bought a 32" light bar to mount behind the bottom grill... Haven't had the time to install it yet... I'm not going to cut my grill out, just keep it factory looking... The bar is pretty bright but I'm unsure how it'll be tucked behind... It's not really going to be used for anything other than pissing off my friends when I blind them... My LED headlights do a great job by themselves...

Bedliner the dash? Minus well bedliner everything else too.... I'm still needing to bedliner the roof to my Ford E350... Those gutters look like crap when water finds it's way under the seam sealer.....

My next set of wheels will be:

Mine is exactly like Donnie's except Black.... It was ordered when I bought my seat covers by a local company here.... It had wrinkles in it and the company I ordered it from said it'd come out after a few weeks on my dash... I have a tinted windshield so it didn't come out.... I used a steamer to take out the wrinkles... I'm sure if your windshield isn't tinted, it should relax....

I have a 32" light bar I'm going to install on the bottom grill and tap a relay off the fog lights to power it... Serving no purpose but would come in handy with someone cuts me off... Possibly trains horns also when the air ride goes on...

I scored them for $300... The bolt pattern played in my favor, because no one wanted to buy them.... I actually don't need to dodge the potholes and I'm surprised the ride is very smooth... I made it so it's reliable for my gf to drive and my 2yo not to become a bobble head....

We have a local company who is known for there custom seat covers, but they order them from the mainland U.S.... It's made to fit and made of neoprene... I do like the look and comfort of them but they are a little pricey considering... $265 per row, I did all 3 rows, which in hind sight I should have never done the 3rd row because it's folded most of the time... The 2nd row seats I lost the ability to use the fold down arm rest in the middle of the seat... Having 2 kids I think its still worth the protection....

So I just put on some 19" wheels on my TC... I have 225/40/19 tires on them... The back tires have a small nice stretch on them but the fronts look a bit meaty.... I still need to put air ride on my TC but the wheels help get me motivated to do more work on it... The et/offset is +32 front and +38 rears... The rims were off a Jaguar... I would have gone with a 35series front tire but Oahu's roads are pretty bad with potholes and what not.... I've messed up a few sets of rims by hitting them with 35 series tires.... This van is daily driven and I rather worry about my gf curbing them than pothole damage.... And if anyone is wondering what the front plate says......

I ended up purchasing the WeatherTech front and 2nd row due to being talked into it by the dealer.... They said they carried the Husky Liners when they first came out but they were having complaints about the Husky's not holding they're shape over time.... They said the WeatherTech's are a lot more rigid and they haven't had any complaints..... For me to order any floor mats to Hawaii is an arm, leg and first born..... The dealer only charged me retail cost and didn't mark it up on the shipping.... Buying it online would have cost me $125 just in shipping.... I opted for the less riser on the dead pedal....

I replaced my dome lights and map lights with the t10 LED's and I like it a lot better... I bought some other ones at first but the stock light was brighter... My friend gave me some of these... The black bulbs are in the dome light, the white bulbs are in my City Lights in my headlights... I also put LED's in my headlights as well as my reverse lights... https://www.amazon.com/JDM-ASTAR-10pcs-Bright-market/dp/B00OH0S5Y2/ref=sr_1_19?ie=UTF8&qid=1470732342&sr=8-19&keywords=t10+led City Lights: Tail lights: Headlights:

Was it only a weight issue for the LWB not to come with the 1.6? I'm a little late to the party.....

The bolt pattern is 5x108... Only a select few cars have the same pattern... Jaguar, Volvo, Some Fords, Range Rover... Not much to choose from... I've read on the Ford Focus forums that some guys have done the axle swap with the Mazda 3 axle hybrids.... It's a lot of work but if your looking to get or gain a better selection of wheels, it'll be worth the money... I have a set of 19x8.5 front and 19x10 rears... I was able to find the set off a Jaguar... I'll be stretching some tires on them and also putting AirRide on my TC... I'm one of those guys... Form > Function.... I need to make the TC mine...

Out of curiosity, can you find out how much to "buy back" your van from the insurance? I just like to know prices they're looking to get from the scrap yards.... At least that's how it works here... They'll total the vehicle then offer you if you'd like to buy it back.

I've received 5 or 6 surveys and completed them since I've bought my 2016 in February. It's a bit annoying and seems like once I took one survey, they want me to continue taking more surveys.

I average 19 miles to the gallon according to the fuel gauge.... We really can't get up to 30 miles of highway driving..... When my gf drives the van, she does seem to get better milage than myself... I average 70mph when I drive and I have a heavy foot... I wish my LWB XLT came turbo...

My cousin is into stereos (A real bass head) and he told me the Sears Diehard Marine Platinum batteries are very good for running accessories off it.... Not sure if those will fit in the TC battery box through... Odyssey batteries I've heard are good too...

There's the 5 seater which is considered the SWB (short wheel base) and the 7 seater which is the LWB (Long wheel base)... The SWB seat folds behind the front seats as the LWB drops flat to the floor...

That's a bummer... I guess I should be happy I have the feature...

So I tried it and Yes, I can stop the windows rolling down where I want it...... But I can't get them to roll back up.... Doesn't matter how much I play with the remote.... It would be nice to get it to roll back up though...

I've read a review on Amazon regarding the WeatherTech Floor Mats/Liners not going up the full length of the foot rest/dead pedal... The Husky liners are cheaper in price and go up the full length of the dead pedal... I was dead set on purchasing the WeatherTech Floor Mats/Liners but after reading the review and actually looking at the pictures, I'm going to go with the Husky liners... I have big feet and would like more coverage... I tried searching to find the review I read regarding the foot rest/dead pedal post but I can't seem to find it... Not sure if the WeatherTech photo posted is a Stock Image or the actual product... If it is the actual image, it doesn't seem to have a good rise up the sides compared to the Husky...

Cool, thanks Don! I skimmed through the literature but didn't take notice of that... My key looks like this...

Form > Function It's all about the style.... I've bought some 19x8.5 front and 19x10 rear wheels and they have some poke to them but after I bag my TC, it should look pretty good... I guess I shouldn't mention stretching tires on them either? lol.. I'm also thinking of grabbing another set of 19" wheels to be able to have different looks....

Canadian model? Pretty slick and rare van in the states!
