My friend,

You are driving and Audi, not a Honda, Subaru, Navigator or an Escalade.

Theres is nothing wrong with tinting your windows, but for Gods sake, tint them black.

The Audi lines are perfect and it is a beautiful car to look at, so tinting your windows with anything other then black will be a huge mistake!

Let the tuner kids ghettofy their car, not you!

OOOO

Having reflective tint is common on benz's. Being a german luxary car I would think it is the same class =\.

Yeah, I noticed that. I too have my first silver car and thought about the silver tint but I have decided on the black tint but the one with the reflective finish. I have not done it yet but will tell you what I think when it is done, also let me know how yours comes out.

Go with a 25% smoke black. Mine is silver and I plan on this tint with the smoked hella tailights. Looks real sharp. You want attention drawn to your cars lines and styling not reflective film on your windows. Keep it classy and leave the ricer crap out. Every car I have ever seen with that reflective tint looks like s***. But, thats just my opinion.

There is black with reflective finish? do you have any pics of that?

I was thinking of silver because my car is a light color and the light reflective tint should compliment it as it does look nice on many white and silver benz's.

silver car goes with dark tint. I'd go with darkest possible "smoke" tint - gives it a nice look. The contrast is what you are looking for in this case.
Most people will consider reflective tint on a silver car a sign of bad taste - most women at least. And seeing how (let's face it) ladys are a big part of our lives and having a nice car helps meeting them... well, you get the point
