Before the tint job:

Got 5% on the back 35% on the front, when read with a meter it shows 3% on the back and 24% on the front with slightly dirty windows.

do you have plans for the tail lights? I have a black WRX and don't like how the chrome style tail light sticks out so much against the black. Other than that it looks awesome.

Eventually this month I'll order some Forester Sports tail lights

that definitely looks a lot better. New units are above my budget. I've heard of smoking and tinting. I wasn't too sure if the tint can conform to a double direction bend (like a sphere) or if its limited to something more cylindrical in shape. I was also reading about someone who put their taillight in the oven to loosen the adhesive and then smoked the inside and put it back in the oven to reseal it but that sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. What you showed there will certainly match your headlights well.

Unfortunately with Forester tails they are not bound together like the headlights with a weaker silicon but instead the plastic from each side is "micro welded" together.

I was debating getting stronger bulbs for reverse, 3rd brake, brake, and tail lights and just tinting them.

Would the tint conform to the multi-directional curve?

Yeah it's pliable just like vinyl wrap. With a heat gun and some stretching it would be no problem.
