Laguna Blue over Tan interior
 

yeah, I know Subie never did it, but Im thinking
about taking a black & tan car and turning it into
a Laguna Blue and keep the tan interior.

I always thought that would have been a great combination. I am just not sure how the bronze windows would look with the blue. Maybe that's one of the reasons Subaru hesitated on offering it.

That would be my hestitation as well. However, if the windows are tinted black or silver, the car would look great!

Bronze windows? :confused:

The bronze window tint is subtle and best seen when two SVXs with different tints are next to each other.

This was a pic I took at a mini SVX meet at newsvx's place last summer. His red '97 LSi is infront of my red '96L, while svxcess's polo green '96 LSi is directly behind mine (Ron Mummert's ebony '92 LS-L is the other car).

As you can see in the pic, both SVXs of newsvx and svxcess which have a tan leather interior, have a bronze tint to their glass. The glass on both Ron Mummert's and my car is more silver in tint.

Ill just tint them
 

with aftermarket tint if it was any issue
I doubt it would even be noticeable to be honest

I always thought blue and tan went together. I think the windows would look fine either way - both options are pretty mild (but I guess in AZ youre gonna want some real tint on em). :)

Two tints
 

I am gonna try two tints one on top of the other, the light black and the light brown... I tried it on a piece of glass, it looked awesome...;)

I can realy see the difference on my car the drives side rear windows is gold and all of the rest are blue.

I agree. I think blue and tan would go togeather just fine.
Dayle, since the car's already black, you should go black over blue, that would look sweet!

Well, if it doesnt go blue
Ill maybe go with a the JDM Charcoal used in
other countries....

On my Laguna Blue, I would prefer if the roof was black much like the early SVXs. I didn't like how the trunk and other rear trim was also black during those years, but I thought the black roof looked very nice. This seems like an opportunity to do that.

If I ever repaint mine, I'm going to the ends of the world to find a black paint for my roof that looks as much like the window glass as possible.

I'm not one for tan interiors any way you cut it, but tan on black is the lesser of all the evil combinations. For that reason, I'm torn. Blue is beautiful, but with a tan interior, I'd stick with black. A black interior on the other hand; that would be delicious with any color.

Now that car looks very very familiar!!

:D

Laguna over tan...sorry not for me.

I wonder what a laguna with black top would look like. I think that would look sweet.

Couldn't resist!! But not mine anymore so replace my smiley face with a :(

Is a brilliant colour in the flesh though in case you have any doubts!

Any sign of you buying one yet in England James?

They seem to have got cheap over there.
