Tinting done and pleased with the results.

Now, just upswept DTM tips, the ECU to be slotted in, but not before I renew the Hoses, just want to err on the side of caution!!

Have a great day all

Looks pretty sharp.... what level of tint did you go with?

 

Thanks!!

I went for 15%, my son has WRX done that way and I like the look, especially in this case, against the White. The front 2, the rest are fine, should not really be at 15, more like 35.

 

SWEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTTTT

 

looks good. the white makes it pop.

when i had mine done, i thought of 2 things - the legal limit, and the overall look. 15 sounds right for the limit here, but will be hassled by bored police with testors. the other thing, was the even-ness of the car. i can have the back passenger and cargo area tinted to a limo darkness without po-po's buggin me, but then, the back glass and front passenger areas cannot be that dark. besides being a hazard at night parking / maneuvering, the 2 tone tinting i dont think would look right on a car with this much glass. i finally settled on an even tone with the front passenger areas. now, i may get it changed to darker tint for the back glass, as im starting to piece together the stereo system (so far, have 1600W [800x2] amp and 1 10" pioneer sub). when ive gathered all the pieces, i would like the darker tint to help conceal the gear in the back. i have the cargo cover, but just as an added security feature. the tan interior is still fairly visible thru my current tint.

anyways, yeah, nice choice on the % level!

edit: was thinkin, you could play on that white/black issue even more with the wheels

maybe something like



or



or



etc

maybe?

 

Tech - Thanks man, I'm kinda pleased with the way it looks, even my son who thinks that anything that isn't a STI, is basically crap, came in and said how cool it looked, followed quickly by; "You should tint the lights out and remove the Volvo badging".. sigh


FlameJet - Thanks and I totally agree with you about the '2 tone affect'. To be completely legal I really should have gone with the lighter 35% on the front 2 windows, but I really wanted it to look uniform, so went with the 15% all around. Hopefully it won't be an issue. My brother in law has 2005 F150 with everything including the front screen tinted out and he seems to get away with it, although he has an issue with the coming inspection I think. His truck makes me drool, 24" rims, supercharged, aftermarket custom axles and the list goes on.... I was going to say if I had his truck, really I should be saying 'if I had his money' lol.

 

Mass850 does your son go on the Subaru forums?

 

Flame , some nice choices on rims, I was looking at Tirerack the other day. The option I like best is something similar, but a little more BBS like, to the last wheel you showed. I like the idea of a silver lip, but the black wheel.

Thanks for showing me those, I appreciate it!!

 

He's on a couple Tech not sure which without checking. He's sort of banded together with a few of his mates, who all have the WRX's, I got to admit some of their cars are very cool. Easily modded and power to weight is a pretty awesome mix. He has a few pics up on a webiste, myspace I think. Looking pretty good.

In the case of my son, more ideas than money!!! As to sense and money, its a pretty close call which is more lacking - HA lol

 

I was just asking because my Wife is on a couple. She works at the Dealer.
She tries to help like I do.

 

Tech, if you have any you or she would recommend, I'd love to hear and pass them on. He's always looking for idea's and to hear of other things people have done or experienced.

I'd appreciate that, thanks.
