Decided to do some tint and tails

I decided to do 25% front and 5% rear and smoked the tails. I like the new look it created. Now I just need springs and better rims

I did the tails myself. Bought a can of VHT shade and taped and prepped everything. It's not to hard to do, just time consuming.

Drew, only thing about VHT, It doesn't come off :/ but those tails look really good. You got them painted well!!! How much did you pay for your tints?

Sorry to get back to you so late, I spent $350 out the door for Viper tint with a lifetime warranty against fade, bubbles or scratching

I'm just wondering, have you had any trouble with the cops? Because I thought you had to let 70% of light in in California..?

True, in California you have to allow 70% or greater of light through the windows. I have been running them for quite sometime And have not been pulled over. I just recently received a speeding ticket and the officer said nothing about my windows or tail lights. He actually committed that I had a nice Subaru and he has a 2010 STI hatch as his DD. So maybe that's why I got off the hook for the tints an reduced my speed on my ticket to only 5 over instead of 25.

I haven't really heard anyone get in trouble, but it's always hit and miss dependent on which town you live in and how grumpy the cops in your area are. It's a fix it ticket if the cop has an issue and you just remove it, sign it off and pay a $20 fee and your all done. Then you just put the tint back on! Lmao
