A3 Tinting
I've done my first project.
That's FormulaONE Pinnacle 35% Film for all the windows except windshield.
It looks a little lighter than typical 20% film, yet it's so cool because there's no difference between front dor and rear door.
I love this configuration!
Your comment would be appreciated!

RE: A3 Tinting
Looks great !
Wish I could get away with it in California.
Sure could use it. I have 15% on rear side, and hatch .... and am thinking of putting a lighter shade
on the front sides and maybe even the windshield. That way .... you cannot tell the sides are done either.
You know of anyone that has darkened the open sky glass ? I was also thinking of doing that next ... before the front
side windows.

Matt, don't know if this helps but the sunroof in my A4 is tinted and it makes a hell of a difference. My previous civic sunroof wasn't tinted and on those hot texas days I would bake unless the inner sunroof was closed, different story with the tint though. I was really shocked, because I didn't think the tint anywhere made a significant difference, but it does.

RE: A3 Tinting
The Open Sky can be tinted however you want. This is the California Vehicle Code section re: tinting
http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/d12/vc26708.htm
By the way, subsection (d) allows one to tint the front windows, just not very dark.

Cops in Newport Beach and Huntington Beach don't really "care" about tinting of the front windows, or not installing a front plate. They are using these items as pretexts to stop vehicles to check for DUI's.

RE: A3 Tinting
NB and HB cops have pulled me over for tint and no front license plate, all fix-it tickets..they get off on giving people a bad time. I hardly ever drive in those cities anymore. Good thing I knew a cop for the city of Orange, he just signed my tickets and I didn't have to remove my tints
