Default Window Tint Recommendations

I'm looking to add tint to my car (possibly 35% all around on white 2.7T). Any recommendations? I've heard about Madicor Onyx black tint which might look good against the white, but the guy I spoke to only uses Lumar (?sp). Is that comparable to Madicor.
Thanks in advance.

Default go with 20%....I have had my 3M 20% on a year and it is perfect

35% is to light.

Default 3M has a Lifetime Warranty. I did %35 all round (see sig) On a lighter color A6....

....%20 would look too dark in my opinion.

Default Madico is good, a good place sells it near me - about $250 for my car...

I ended up going with Johnson @ 35% at a different place for $230. Anything less than 35% and you sacrifice visibility at night IMO.

Default I've used 3M, Madico, LBT, and BASF. I use BASF exclusively and offer a lifetime warranty... (more)

...on the tint and installation. BASF makes some of the best tint I've ever used and like 3M has a lifetime warranty on their window tint products.
