Hey Folks,

So I am thinking of tinting my windows at the weekend, and I was possibly going to go for 35% on the rear only as I want to have that OEM look!

I was wondering if possible could I have some other members opinions on percentage best suited to my colour of car?






Thanks
Shaun

Not as dark as it looks in the photo, looking out from inside you would hardly know they were tinted

Definitely think 30% be perfect on yours for a factory look Shaun.

My parents have the 30% on their Saab.

Have a look at the tint thread I started where a bunch of people helped me out: http://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/would-you-recommend-window-tinting.242334/

Hope it helps.

Some tinters quote amount of light passed some amount of light stopped. Be sure you check what yours uses before you get it done.

25 light in is limo dark, 25% light stopped is very light.

Some times I think I should've gone darker, but then if raining or certain lights it can seem quite dark
