No more saggy butt! Or new tires...?
Fresh tint? Looks good!
The glass does look darker & the rear looks higher. Is that a new outhouse?

Or it could be the tint... lol
We have a winner. :lol:
MN legal 50% all around (looks dark in the pic due to it being twilight, and looking down in to the dark interior) and a strip of 35% over the blue area at the top of the windshield. Not sure if I like that yet really. It's sort of odd when viewed from the inside. I guess I'll get used to it.
If not, I only paid $15 extra, so I'm not going to loose much if I decide to have it removed. So far the feeling inside the car is MUCH better. No more upside-down fishbowl syndrome. If people think Foresters have it bad, they should ride in an un-tinted Outback. The way the glass curves over lets lots of sun in, and the top of the windshield is almost to your forehead. The ride home was sooo much nicer.
Lol @ the outhouse, Bobby! That's what it's supposed to look like. It's really just mom's garden tool shed. The ride height and rubber is the same as before. :smile:
Just kidding about the outhouse, but your OB does look higher in the rear.
The glass looks good, gives the OB a new look & you'll love the difference! I've seen others do the piece over the windshield, but I've never had it done on my vehicles.
You said it's a 50% tint? Is that what it's called? Here we have 5%, 20% & 35%, which means the amount of light that gets thru. 5% is also called limo tint. :smile:

Yep, 50%. Lighter than any of the ones you listed. The Forester is tinted as well, but even lighter. I'm not sure what it is (I was gone for the summer when it was done), but it's barely noticeable.
The windshield I'll have to get used to. I do like it though, don't have to wear sunglasses all the time (they give me headaches).

It sure looks dark in the picture, but as you said, it was twilight when the picture was taken. :wink:

The factory glass has a very light tint, one of the reasons I don't tint the front glass. I went with 20% tint on our Foresters, which still makes it easy to see thru when it's dark out.
Way back when I had the '03 X glass tinted, they screwed up & tinted the glass 5% (limo tint)! It looked great, so I said I'd try it. It was so dark that I couldn't see a vehicle thru the tinted glass, unless it had it's headlights on & that was during the day! It was way too dangerous, so I had the 5% tint removed & went with the lighter 20% tint. :smile:

Some more tint pics... The dark interior really makes it look dark! Kinda funny. Once you get inside the car, you realize it's really not. Perfect! :biggrin: The white also exaggerates the tint's contrast effect. Black is definitely a theme color on the car. I wouldn't go putting black wheels on it, but the little accents really set it off. I've also been debating on clearing the headlights... but the more I look at the pics, I think I'll leave them alone.
Pardon the dust. No rain in about three weeks here... it's a dust-bowl. Our driveway is clay gravel, so it's awful! I don't mind the car slathered in mud, but dust just annoys me. :catfight:

The tint has totally change the way your OB looks!
As to the dust... no air compressor to dust off your baby & a light wipe down with a microfiber cloth when you get it parked? :wink:

Looks good! To tell you the truth, I thought you liked the raked look... didn't look bad to me. :wink:
