Default Vehicle wrap instead of tint?

I'm toying with the idea to add more yellow to the RS2.



This'd be a pro application of one-way-see-through solid yellow vinyl to my car's rear window and two rear doors' glass, and possibly their pillars.

Why? I think it'd look weird-good, like a panel van.
I don't plan to do any style/design with the wrap; just color.
Will make my cargo area more secure from prying eyes, and add personal privacy I want.

I wonder if this'll cut out too much light though?

Hmmmm.. anyone here have wrap on their xB windows?

Local cost--first quote, exact color match to the paint color,
, $350 installed.

Reactions please?

wow, 350 is what they were going to charge me for a full tint job around here.

and i think, if its color matched, but still transparent enough to see out of, itd be badass

I think it would look good, I have seen the back windows color-matched and it looks good.

I've been toying with the same idea for months now, you took it one step farther and got a price. I doubt I could get it that cheap here in SoCal. Hmmm, with CF hood, hatch and spoiler, having yellow-out side windows and dark-tint rear window... that might look nice. Opinions?

I have a doctor's prescription to allow darker tint for the driver and front passenger doors. I'm going that route soon.

But you go for the vinyl windows. I like the idea. : clap :

Sorry, but doctor's notes don't work here in CA.

Just go with some Vision (Special Vinyl that will enable you to see through it. Not sure what it's going to run in your loca but it's pretty cheap in Utah.
