    Rear windows are factory tint (not sure of the %)....fronts are 20%. Not the best angle...sorry.

    Make sure to use a quality tint like Suntek etc...

    OT, but what's the back story on that burned house under construction? Also like your Sti, I had a '13 WRX base, sedan. Always wanted a hatch though in secret, but could never find one.

    Giving them the bird seems a lot more personal when you have to roll your window down to do it.

    no one allows it haha but living in Arizona, any tint place will let you do the 5% as long as you know its illegal, but never had a cop pull me or any of my family over for tint

    Well, I'm in Florida and see the really dark stuff all the time even though it's illegal. I'm from Virginia which has the most anal tint laws on the planet. Most good tint places won't tint past the legal limit because the state police will bust them and take their tint license.....

    That's pretty crappy. The worst ive heard is the cop keys the tjnt so you have to get it redone and gives you a fix it ticket. Or just gives you a fix it ticket

    My spot (Va Beach) had me sign a disclaimer that the tint that he applied may come across as being a tad darker than what is acceptable within the spirit of the law ... :cool:

    I had very dark tint got pulled over and the cop (TPD) cut my tint and had me pull some of it off. Got his info and call his boss was told they can do that if it makes it hard to see " it is for your safety" It was a big mess with TPD

    When you see someone with tint full of bubbles you have found someone who had done it themselves.

    Do yourself a favor and leave it to the professionals.
