Yea, is there any other option? lol
I didnt want to see aluminum on the inside because i thought that would just look weird and the wheel was already off the car so it wasnt hard. I didnt spray the back of the spokes, and the inside half of the inside of the wheel you cant see normally. (again not sure how to describe this area lol) Also, I have to respray the edge of the rim on the front, some aluminum shines through.

Yea, I cant wait. Not sure about tint lvls. Originally I wanted 35 front / 15 rear. Id rather go darker in front but I dont want to be a cop magnet. Not sure what to do.

Drove a 2012 and it makes really weird noises... does this happen to your car?
First, when coasting and off the gas the transmission or something sounds like its grinding and wont stop untilled I give it some gas. Second, when on or off gas some part of the car squeaks. Thanks. |

Did you drive a CVT one because mine does the same when I let off the gas to slow down and it feels like it is down shifting...

what tint did you use?

To all forum members, what car tint do u guys think would look cool on the Impreza Sport Limited MBP? I'm planning on having my car tinted this saturday and I still don't know what to get. So far, I'm leaning towards a 3M Color Stable 35% all around except the windshiled... I think that's the regulation for my Illinois license plates even though I'll be driving my car in Virginia... Thanks a lot guys. I appreciate any input or recommendations that you may have |

Keep in mind that if you are allowed 35% in your state, that you need to get a lighter tint in order to compensate for the factory tint (minimal, but it's there). I had put on 40% Suntek CXP and the total is ~35%. Just food for thought if you want to make it legal with a meter.

It all depends on your inspection station using a light meter. I would guess 35% + factory tint isn't that much darker than 40% + factory tint.

Just throwing this out there- my last car had a huge sunroof, which made the fronts appear lighter, but really it was 20% all around.

My Impreza leading the charge! Led a cruise a few weeks ago that had a beautiful sunset just before we switched our route from asphalt to mud. Thought I'd nab a shot before we got 'em all dirty. It's a base 2.0i that I'm starting to work on. Painted the chrome wings black to match the grille. Gives it the "mesh grille" without forking over 250 extra for it. Got a few things like alloys and a rear sway bar I'll be adding later. |

^Very cool. I am itching to see how much fun I can have with my Impreza Sport on some dirt, but it's not even two weeks old and I'm trying to keep it clean for as long as I can haha.

I think I've washed my new Impreza more times in the past 5 months than I've washed all of my other cars in the past 12 years of driving. I LOVE it. |
