Default Tint... any regrets?

Anyone tinted their A5 Sportback and had regrets after?

Have an appointment to get mine done in a few weeks and i am afraid the time is making me have 2nd thoughts about it.... anyone did theirs and regretted it and if so did you remove it?

What are your worries? I live in a hot climate, so a tint is a must on all my cars. Mainly to keep the heat out.

It's more about the look than the heat (except in the summer when i am sure i will appreciate it) I am just concerned it will take a way from the car. I haven't seen any black SB with tint yet so thats why I am having a bit of doubt.

I've seen a few on white and silver SB and i am definitely not a fan of the tint with them.

Tint and looks are up to each individual person! You know what you like.

I think every S5 or A5 must have tint. They all look better with it. Obviously you don't. If you're hesistant I'd hold off.

I regret that i live in a state where even 70% on the sides and rear is playing with legal fire... otherwise i would definitely get some pretty dark tints all around (once i actually get my order)

WOW!!! That looks really nice. I think the darker cars it looks good. I am thinking about the 35% Ceramic as well.

No tint for this slightly modded S5, I've had for 5 years. Yes, looks better but I'm a brown person that does not want to give law enforcement any reason to stop me for improper equipment.
