Default Trying to figure out how dark to tint

Could people please post pics of there tinted a4 and tell me how dark you went. I was thinking 35 as i want the same tint all around and that is my legal limit in Canada. But I want to see what other people have.

Default Don't forget to take into account the fact....

that the Audi glass is ALERADY tinted to a degree.

You need to make sure the addition of tint to this already tinted glass will stay within legal limits.

Default 35% on sides, 20% on rear window....

....had the rear window tinted darker than the sides. I also have an Onyx interior which makes the tint seem a bit darker than it is. Never had any problems with the police nor with passing my state inspection (PA)<ul><li><a href="http://www.audigallery.com/?ajhedin">Two Pics of My A4</a></li></ul>

Default I will probably do 40% I have Brilliant Black.

I don't want it looking like I'm a drug runner.

Hmmm...I've got BB color too. Now I've got to decide 35 or 40. Hope the shop's got some samples.
