When you put that sheetmetal in the rear, did you tie it into the framerails at all?

I think I paid $180 to get my 4 door tinted, and that was a shop that has a machine that cuts the tint specifically for your vehicle, but that was about 6 years ago, and I've always thought my XJ felt wimpy, probably because I came from an F150.

I think my 4 door was in that ball park from a shop I have been going to for 10+ years.
