Default JDM cars.

Have been looking at loads of JDM cars due to me wanting to buy one in a weeks time. I have never been a fan of tinted windows and with all the JDM STi's i have seen they tend to have the rear windows tinted. Well, i say tinted but i am worried they are black glass and not just a tint.

Could anyone tell me if i am right in thinking its more than just a tint?

Whut? It's not a stick on tint if that's what you're implying. It's actually dark glass. If you don't like it, I'm sure many a bod on here would be happy to swap for their UKDM glass

A swap would be no problem, even if i bought rear side windows i am sure i could put them in myself. My problem would be the rear heated window. Being a JDM it has a rear wiper and if i am not mistaken it is set in the glass, so to speak. Now i'm not too sure but i reckon that is going to cost a lot of money.

Thats no good.

Wasnt standard on Spec C's think it was a free upgrade on the normal models or a delete if you didnt want it on.
