Tint Opinion For RS4 (Repost)

RaptorKTM · 12-11-2006, 09:31 PM

Sorry Not E90, but i figured id ask here. I have Mugello blue. i want to tint my car. But I want something that will look really good on the car. I was thinking something like 15% or 20% all the way around. I want to have the same percentage tint all the way around, i dont want lighter in the front and darker int he back. The same all the way around. What do you think would look good. Here are some pics of the car below to help with your opinion.

rwwong · 12-11-2006, 09:35 PM

The car will look great with any percentage. Go with 20%

samuraichkn · 12-11-2006, 09:38 PM

i would pick 20% because if its too dark, you cant see well out of it at night. sweet car, i envy you

astra · 12-11-2006, 09:42 PM

my vote goes for as dark as possible... dark tint looks the business

sion_leo · 12-11-2006, 09:45 PM

I will go for 15%...
One of the most beautiful cars out there IMHO

6SpeedMan · 12-11-2006, 09:49 PM

I have 15% and there has never been a time when I thought it was too dark. Rather, I have a friend that got 20% on his Dolphin Grey A4 and he always wishes he went 15%. Keep in mind where I live is always cloudy and dark too.

RaptorKTM · 12-11-2006, 09:57 PM

well for me i can handle limo. its not about me seeing. its about looks and protection.

Pretender · 12-11-2006, 10:11 PM

Bad ass car...Is it 07 model? 20% all around would be good.

RaptorKTM · 12-11-2006, 10:17 PM

yea 07

6SpeedMan · 12-11-2006, 10:25 PM

Go 15%, it offers a very dark look whereas 5% offers the look but visibility of black construction paper.

Another option is tint 20% all round and do the widshield at 50% or less, making the other windows look much darker.

RaptorKTM · 12-11-2006, 10:29 PM

Hmm i think those are the best options. I think im going to do 15% all around and 50% Windshield, how does that sound?

findtom · 12-11-2006, 10:34 PM

Wow... stunning car and color.

I'd be careful not to go too dark though.

6SpeedMan · 12-11-2006, 11:03 PM

Whatever you do decide to do, get a good shop to do it. Explain to the tinter that there is a difficulty with the dot matrix on the rear window and he needs to prep it properly or it will look like absolute sh*t. That is all.

By the way findtom, my mother just ordered a new loaded X5 with the V8 what do you think of yours so far?

so you think 15% is to dark

NaViT · 12-11-2006, 11:45 PM

nice car!! 15% is perfect i think

6SpeedMan · 12-11-2006, 11:52 PM

Lets make a tally:

So far the talley is

15%- 4
20%- 3

Keep it going!

NFS13 · 12-12-2006, 12:24 AM

Don't go lower than 20%, it will take away too much visual from the beautiful color of the car. Darker tints look better on silvers & whites to help contrast.

Beautiful? Hell no, Audis don't look beautiful, they're low key. Looks mean? You better believe it.
