I'm debating wether to tint my car. sorry i have no pictures but it is a 53 plate wrx sti look a like. i'm thinking of just getting the backs done and maybe the fronts very lightly tinted as i know a company that will do the fronts for me. What are poeple apinions on tinted scoobies. The car is in blue by the way

Fronts are already likely to be at the legal limit (most are) if you don't want attention from plod don't tint the fronts.

I prefer every window to be tinted the same amount - but as said above, the fronts are likely to be near the legal limit already.

Never had any problem with the police with mine.I think they are quite dark.
Also help security because the film holds the glass together.
Plus i think they look nice and set most cars paintwork off

Midnight tint on both rears and the HRW done by Pentagon Glass in Barnet, N. London - £150 + vat.

Tints.........get them done. I think they are great providing they are not too dark.

Do subaru do privacy glass and if so how much? I believe it is an optional extra?

I like the rears blacked out myself:

Not for me. I even had my rear side glass replaced with glass from a P1 to reduce the level of the tint - my car is black though and it was OTT IMO.

I am still planning on getting my rears done. Tempted to get lights on the fronts at the same time.

Got mine done a couple of weeks ago. Limo on the rear sides (5% transmission) and dark smoke (25 % transmission) on the back. Still looks really dark from the back because less light is getting in overall. Would definitely recommend.

Got mine done at Pentagon, £40 a drop. Light smoke all round. Too dark lOOks silly IMO.

You can see some pics in the usual place.

Some like them some don't. I got my old scooby (WR blue colour) back three windows blacked out and I thought it looked great . My new scoob (black colour) also has got the back three blacked out. Thought I had some pictures to show you but I haven't . Front windows are at the legal limit already so its up to you on getting the fronts done.

Do a trawl through members gallery for pictures then make your own mind up cause everyone has a different opinion .

iirc the legislation on tints was brought in after someone killed a motorcyclist, thought to be due to reduced visibility at night due to tints.

also insurance implications...

Looks good outside MacDonalds!

Sideshow...

personally i liked the look of the tinted windows and also wanted it so that i could leave my dive kit in the car without some passer-by getting a fly look at what goodies were available for uplifting...

only downside was i had to tell my insurance and they want some extra bank notes off me as they classed it as a modification when i thought i was discouraging the temptation to break in

If you're keeping kit in the car, i'd also lOOk at the Supaglass film. Only a tenner per window. For that extra piece of mind.
