Anyone have pics of Quartz Grey w/ tints?

I'm picking up mine in about a week, I can't decide if I should tint or not... I have always liked the way tints look, but have never owned a grey car before, so any help would be much appreicated?

thanks

35% tint (most you can have legally here in Ontario if I recall correctly)

Here are a couple

35% all around, minus the windshield. Cost $130 w/lifetime warranty (but then I got the 'cheaper' tint since the car is leased for 24 months).

Some older pics before some other mods I've done lately. I'll take some new pics next week after a couple of more things get installed.

Don't worry. Looks even better with dark interiors...

The A4 already has a slight tint from the factory (~90% IIRC). If you use a 35%, you'll be below the legal limit, assuming 35% is the lowest in your area and assuming you care ;-). Note that films like Llumar 35 actually allow 38% light transmission, so you'll be very close to being legal (probably within margin of error).

I got my Avant tinted at Tint-King in MA using Carbon 45 on the fronts and rears, and Carbon 35 on the rear hatch. The front and rear windows read ~35% where the rear hatch reads ~20%.
