I'd like to tint my 04 WRX wagon but haven't had this done before on any of my cars. I've done some research but hoping some of you could offer some words of wisdom on any of the following...

1. How many of you have a metallic-based tint as opposed to plastic? I've heard that metallic is better in quality and worth the cost difference.

2. I'll be moving to Wisconsin where the tinting % is different b/w the front doors (50%) and rear doors (35%). Wouldn't this look strange? I'd think that 50% is pretty light so would you take the chance on a tint ticket and match the doors?

3. Do any of you have a lifetime replacement warranty on your tint? Again, I've heard this is easier to get for metallic than plastic.

4. Are there any brand names of tint that are recommended or does this differ from installer to installer?

5. Any pics of your vehicles with percentages would be great. I'm overseas until next month and my WRX won't be delivered until I get home. My dealer is able to set me up with his tint installer but pics would give me some idea of what to do. Like I said, I'll be in Wisconsin, so if anyone knows of a good installer in the area that would be great.

Thanks all. Cheers.
