window tint on brats?

Featured Replies

any of you guys do it? been thinking about it on the brat, but not really sure if i would like it. i know my wagon is getting it someday. wagons look good w/tint!

bring on the pics if you got 'em!

did my wagon last year. 20% on rear doors back, 35% on front doors.

by far , the hardest was the hatch window. not as flat as it looks.

ended up overlapping 3" strips (5 or 6 " strips wrinkled")

 

the doors were a breeze. with no door posts, i just cut the tint a little big, put it on real wet, and after a few minutes of drying a good sharp razor blade trimmed it up real neat.

 

none of it looks perfect, but it came out pretty good and made the car look a lot better overall.

 

also noticed that the warmer it is outside, the more cooperative the tint is.

good luck and have fun

 

thanks, Bill

ive done about 5 of my brats over the years, look great , but i tinted the back window on one with limo tint, way to dark inside..

well, i'm thinking about having it professionally done. i've never done it. not scared to, but there isn't much that looks worse than a bad tint job.

i may be able to get a discount at the place my employer uses for all the glass/logo work on the fleet.

I did my 08 Impreza..20% all the way around..had it done professionally..and now I plan on getting my coupe done also.. Just check into whats legal for how dark you can go on the doors..Here its 35% front doors min..I went illegal at 20%..but because I have a light car with a light interior ..it actually appears lighter then it is.

If you want to go illegal..be willing to take the chance of getting fined

mine is 20% and it cost me $65 out the door for the 2 sides,windshield strip and rear slider from a tint place.even the cop cars down here have limo tint.It is worth letting someone do it that does it all day every day.

I got mine tinted. The only thing I don't like is backing up in the dark with the head lights on. You can't see crap.

If you pull the glass and bring it in they will usually do a bit cheaper.
