Default Re: thinking about tints<<<<<please look

Tint is a good thing, esp here where the sun tends to bake everything, nearly year round. I've reduced the interior temps of my car somewhat with tinting, and the look is good. Unless you do something like chrome/mirror tint, then the installer should be shot.

I've not tinted the A4 yet, but plan on doing so soon. Along with a clear bra.

Default IMHO ...

a tint will make ANY car look way better than without it. I had my tint done before I took delivery of the car. Gives the car a great look not to mention some extra privacy as you noted. Just make sure you check out any provincial/state law for tint darkness.

My 0.02$
