looks like 35% which is what I have. Personally I wouldn't go any darker unless you really want the Gangsta look. 20% really limits visibility, at least with my old eyes...

Default for coupe you might want 18% all over, and 50% windshield. It might still too hot on summer.

35% you will regret, it still too hot and too bright.

I had 35% on my A4, and 18% on my TT now. look at my pict poster.

my friend put 5% all over on his new 7 series, still ok, but that will be too dark for TT.

Default Most places, it's illegal to tint the front...>>

And I'll be sure to stay away from your friend with 5%....That sounds like an accident waiting to happen.

5% is limo tint and is simply stupid for anything but a limo or the back of an SUV.
