Time get rid of the aquarium look...

So i decided to have my windows tinted.

Before and after

At the backseat i choose for the light, cargo area medium and at the back dark foil.

Also had my moonroof tinted with the medium foil;

Very nice!

Tinting was one of my first MODs! :wink:

Bobby...

Keeps the interior cooler.
Thieves can't see what's in the back.
Totally changes how your Forester looks!
As MODs go, tinting is not that expensive. IMO it's a "must have" MOD!

Looks nice, when you can get around to it can you post a pic of your wheels. It's always nice to see the differences between the European markets and what we get here in North America.

Looking forward to more:biggrin:

Cheers

Bought me some shoulderpads;

Nothing fancy on the wheels, just plain steel :biggrin:

Those are nice looking wheels! The ones that came on our '03 X were shaped poorly, rusted & would collect dirt & water. :frown: Your steel wheels look like alloy wheels!

+1 what Bobby says, those steel wheels are the best looking copy of alloys I've seen, compared to the steel wheels we get on some models.

Hopefully solved the squeel noise from the windscreen by adding some sealant around the window.

The sticky tape is to keep the windowrubber on it's place

No messing around.... just serious business.

And I can say the sealant worked quite well, no squeel at 160 km/h :banana:

Not a mod but something I'm happy with...

I won a iPod Nano on today's Subaru-day.
It has some small pre-installed Subaru archive pictures and some pictures of the recent models on it
