Id like to get my windows tinted but not sure of any good places that can provide me with this look, seeing as alot of you are tinted where do you get it from and do you recommend them?

As many other forum members will tell you, Option Window Tinting at Fairfield. They have done a few libertys. Including mine and i'm pretty happy. That includes my mate who did his WRX.

I recently had 15% put on my lib, its dark and black, without being "painted on" dark. I'm really happy with it, good luck with your choice.

I got 20% on rear, 35% on rear quarters and rear windows & 15% on front. Quite dark at night and in carparks but otherwise pretty good. Spec.B GT has the factory privacy glass, hence the different percentage.
Only paid $240 and thats with removing my old front tints.

I like birchs style :D!, Might ask them to do the same lol. and when you mean quite dark at night as in its hard to see out of? or its the same just its really dark inside the car?

Regardless day or night front looks a fraction lighter then the rear, because the rear has the privacy glass.

Originally i did the rear at 20% & 15% on the front, which matched pretty good from the outside, however from inside i didn't like the colour difference. They then stuck on the 35% on rear windows and it was perfect.

In relation to darkness, its harder to see at night on the street and carparks especially. With that said you kind of get used to it with time.

The interior stays alot cooler whilst driving and when parked on the sun.

I was tempted to go 8% all around as it looked awesome and its already illegal anyway.

I've taken my car to Option Tinting in Fairfield as well to do my rear window. Highly recommended because they are friendly and meticulous in their work. So far they have done the best in matching the rear window to the factory privacy tints in the back.

Hmm all this privacy glass and matching talk, does this apply to my car as well?? Given that its MY06 pre-face lift? I have tint in mine from the dealer but might do 20% all around
