35-37% seems to work nicely (ie not too dark, but enough).

I've done 37% on the side windows and 22% on the rear on my STi8.

35% all round on MY 03 STi looks the dogz.

But beware of the change in legislation, ask the tinting firm and they will tell you any tint on the front windows will be illegal. The new law states that you must allow at least 70% of light through

Does anyone know who is good in the North West (Warrington)

Pete,
Have a word with Ian as he got his Saab done up on Manor Park in Runcorn. Think it was about £225 for fronts,rears,rear quarters and back window (Obviously this wasn't retail price )

Good luck

Nick

P.S: Would be interested to see finished result once you get it done!!

Cool

Cheers Pete, I loved this car and was gutted to sell it as it was mean as ****.

The front lip is the O.E Subaru one.

Bought it on the car from new about £250 inc paint but I think they are more than that now.

Nathan..
