Default Tint Colors

I have a Black on Beige A4.

2 options:
1) black: 50% front 35% back
OR
2) silver: 60% front and 35% back

Which one will look better, in your opinion?

IMO the car looks better with an even tint. Do 35% all around or darker.

Default Also agreed... I just did mine 2 days ago with 35% all around.....

On my A4 and it came out looking really good. The 35% looks more like a 40-50% "light" tint in the shade/dark and looks like a 20% "medium" dark tint when under direct sunlight and at a distance. IMO, the tint used came out better looking than I expected. I'll take some pics this weekend after I wash my car (damn So Cal thunderstorms <img src="http://images.honda-tech.com/set1/smile/emsmilep.gif">)

If that's the case and he is forced to do 50% in front, I would still do 50% all around.

Default I don't think you'll be happy doing only 50% all around...

i decided to stay legal and got 50% in the front and the rest 35%. i would rather have gotten 35% all around in hindsight, but i'm still satisfied.

Default Come to think of it, you're right. 50% is too light.

Revision - I would not be happy with anything lighter then 35%.

My previous car had 20% all around and I drove it for 3 years without any problems.

It matters where you live. In many places where such laws exist the police don't really pay any attention to it.

Hey Steve, how did you clear your front corners? Is it PS?

Default the cops here are really ****

when it comes to tints. if you're caught, they'll give u tickets and u have to remove them within a week and bring your car back to the inspection centre.

i'm in vancouver, bc. many people i know have been pulled over numerous times.

what do you guys think of silver tints though? personally i like the mirror effect and different from black, which imo would make the black car too dark. i'm not sure how exactly it looks on an A4 though coz i haven't seen one myself... esp with beige interior.
