1 question, 1 suggestion.

What % window tint did you use? It looks good. I'm about to do mine and debating on what % to use.

As for a mod suggestion/thought color matched front bumper. (sorry for me being in the pic, it's the only one that I have)

Just installed a black bed liner and rear wheel house liners on my white 2011 ext cab. Made a big difference. The rear doesn't seem as big. You might try these changes. For looks it equals out the front to rear wheel houses and takes a little more white off of the top ! I can't lower I tow and carry 2 to 3 days a week.

Its 50% which is legal tint in La. I didn't do anything to the back. I think it is all personal preference. I do a lot of driving at night so I didn't want my windows to dark. Hope that helps.

I already lowered but I like the look of the black wheel liners in the back so I plan on getting them and eventually doing a bed liner. Probably a spray in. The most I would eventually tow would be a small boat so Im not to worried bout lowering
