You cold try 50% film. You can barely notice the film is on. The reason I recommend that is to reflect heat and UVA/B. reflecting the solar heat is a huge plus...

Good choice! I went 20% in the rear and 30% in the front. I went with IR Rejection Tinting.
Here are some pics of my car with the Tint:

Also, anyone who has rear tint, does it bother you that the hearing elements "raise" the film a little causing headlights from the rear to reflect more at night?
Quick anecdote... when I had my 2005 A6, I took it to a local tint shop that had been in business for a while, so I assumed they were reputable. anyway, they used a ton of the solution on the windows which leaked into the door pockets. In case you didn't notice, the door pockets are lined with a felt-like material, which naturally absorbed all of the solution that dripped down into it. I mean, when I picked up the car it was drenched in there. My car smelled for weeks! I've been gun-shy to go for tint ever since.

Good reasoning, did they carve around the mirror so as to not affect the rain and light sensors?
