scooby9 08-08-2006 12:56 AM

Not really a fan of the smoked look. Maybe for the tails but the headlights would look better just cleared.
patriot1136 08-08-2006 01:25 AM

smoke the tails
veightkiller 08-08-2006 02:23 AM

rockblocker + 04-05 taillights + drop = i guess you have enough opinions on what to do.
97obw 08-08-2006 03:04 AM

holy **** steel grey FTW!!
ghibli99 08-08-2006 03:17 AM

Lightly smoked tails from hotsubarus.com looks good on SGM. I'm thinking of doing the same to my wagon.

As for your headlights, I'd say nay... clear them instead.

Yah im gonna put some sti pink springs on my car after stage 2, which should be in a bout a week btw. Thats actually a really bad angle of my car, because those tires fill out my wheel wells pretty well and it usually looks about right. But yes, pink springs soon as well.

I wish i could try the smoke film and send it back if it looks like garbage haha...well see
WR^2X 08-08-2006 06:22 AM

Nay..
Psybin 08-08-2006 02:27 PM

Nay..

Trade em out.
Waiting on a trade me'self.

Then you can do the taillight mod.

Oh, and Prodrive springs FTW

Edit, got a PM about this, not my car, I'll still waiting on the trade.
wrxcelent 08-08-2006 02:52 PM

if u r gonna keep the 06 tails then smoke them!
Kean 08-08-2006 03:01 PM

....reduced light output = nay. .....if I had an '06, I would definitely do a tail light swap though.
carrman 08-08-2006 03:03 PM

Don't tint your lights. Reduced light output is a very bad idea.
step down 08-08-2006 03:46 PM

so im the only one who likes the 06 tail lights i see haha
BlowDro 08-08-2006 03:48 PM

anyone got pictures of the headlights tinted?
BNastyer 08-08-2006 03:50 PM

nay, you should never tint your lights, last time i checked, they gave off light, and lighting the way when it's dark out is a GOOD thing!!! i hate when guys tint there lights, reduced light output is very bad!
tint for windows = ok
tint for lights = nay

ghibli99 08-08-2006 07:51 PM

^^^ Maybe it's the picture, but the film makes your headlights look brown (could look nice with some dark bronze XD9s to complement them, however :devil: ).

I agree on the light output, but OFW, I'm gonna give the tails a try.

wrxsubaruwrx 08-08-2006 07:55 PM

Although it may look ok and all I would rather be able to see at night then have smoke headlights . I would also rather not get rear ended than have smoked taillights :rolleyes: ..This is my opinion though....

also 04-05> 06 tails
step down 08-08-2006 08:33 PM

im not sure if the smoked taillights really block enough light so that another car cant notice you from behind.

In my wrk parking lot there is an 05 wagon with lightly smoked headlights and taillights with black rims...ill tell yah it looks very tastefull and real nice. I went and had a look at the headlights they didnt look too intense..not as dark as the above pic.
Bbasso 08-09-2006 12:38 AM

Since I don't drive my car on the street much anymore :( I did the covers on my ITR.

tint for windows = ok

i agree, except for foglights with the yellow film... i think that looks clean and would help cut through the fog a little...

as for a side note... i also agree about the 04-05 tails looking better, but who the heck are the 06 owners trading with?? it seems like no one likes the 06 tails...
Subaru of Plano 08-12-2006 12:17 AM

Yes I think our HotSubarus Smoked Taillight kit will look great!

For the heads most go with our HID Blue.

after thinking it over i think smoked tailights are kinda boring...i think the red brake calipers accent the red in the taillights well...in my mind i pictured a much lighter smoke but i havnt seen one like that yet
Subaru of Plano 08-12-2006 12:41 AM

They are hard to photograph and will look different in different light.
These are the same ones as the sedan above (just in wagon form)

I'd say w/the color of your car, a nice light tint on the taillights would be good...the color contrast + the color of your wheels would probably match up really nicly...as far as the headlights go, i'd say nay on that as well
solarin006 08-12-2006 09:13 AM

i say don't tint your lights, paint them.
