So now i'm thinking of 20% on the fronts and 35% on all the rear windows but will have to chat with the tinter when i get there to see what he reckons. He did a great job on yours Trieu so a want to get mine done this week.

Ah.. yeah I did get the tints done last week

Apparently the privacy tint from Subaru are different shades, the rear doors are darker then the rear and side windows (wagon specific).

So in order to tint it all the same shade, I left the rear doors cause they were dark enough already, tinted the rear and sides at 35%. Now it all looks even.

As Jim S said, Option Tinting in Fairfield is top notch. I went there to get my rear window done (35%). They did a fantastic job! Very meticulous with their details. Highly recommended for any MY07+ looking to match that weird privacy tint.

Do you remember what specifically you got Trieu, and how long did it take to do, might try and make a booking as got thurs off hopefully

Yeap, 15% at the front and the rear tints were 35%.

The middle I didn't bother tinting cause it matched up.

Wagon's have more glass so took abit longer, but for a sedan I think it would take about 60mins all up. I'd rather him take his time and do a good job then rush him though..

You should Nigel. A HUGE difference in appearance! Gives your Lib a completely different look and feel, and will compliment your Advans extremely well.

Haha totally agree jim, i need to get around to it asap! I think my car looks absolutely terrible in its current form without the tint, it just doesn't look right at all.
