Nice car and I love the tint !!

I'm still debating on tinting mine...anyone have suggestions for how dark I ought to go on an Ibis white TT? As for legal limits, I'm in Taiwan, so I am free to go as dark as I want or even hang curtains on my side windows in the front! (For those of you from Asia, or have visited, you will know what I'm talking about! )

Wow Saint - I love the car. Finally got mine done yesterday - it came out to roughly 40% all 'round. Keeping it legal here in MD. I had the OpenSky done with 5% - to keep as much sun out as possible. It still looks great and you can still see the sky. I will get pictures out soon.
And TPE - I recommend either beige window treatments or a natural white for your car. But please keep away from the bead curtains which also seems to be popular....

Thanks guys! I love my car. I am having too much fun in it really. It is a completely different animal compared to the A6 3.0 Quattro, which was my last car. While the A6 was like a big cruise ship, the A3 is like a small speed boat that I can maneuver any which way I want.

He we go 20% all the way around. I think 20 or 15% would be perfect tor TPE's Ibis TT

I live in Florida so my tint may not be legal for you... I have a silver 06 A3 with the sport package. Mine has 15% in the back and 20% in the front. IMO it is well worth the money to have it done by a reputable dealer that stands behind their work. So $239 isn't bad, a little high but not bad.

FLBuckA3 you sure thats 20% in the front looks more 35% to me. Check mine thats 20% all around and its just lighter then your rears.

maybe I got 25% on the front... I do know it is in the 20's though... The guy I bought it from had the receipt in the glove box so that's what I'm going off of... I glimpsed at it the other day so I could be mistaken...

TPE, I would go as dark as you can with a white TT, subject of course to being able to see out the windows! Saw a new TT yesterday BTW.....does not need to be lowered.
