Default How dark is this tint on this A4?

I have this same car here (2003 A4 1.8T black/sport) and want to get the windows tinted. I like the way this car is tinted and was wondering what the percentage is (my guess is 35% or 20%) Anyone else care to guess? Would a different tint combo look better? Any feedback is welcome. Thanks

In most of the pics it looks like 20% all around...
Some make me think 35... but I'm pretty sure it's 20.

I'd say 30 to 35%.....leaning closer to 30%. Hard to really tell from the pics. That's just my guess.

Edit: The more i look at it.....i too am thinking 20%.

Yeah that's what I figured 20%, my interior is black so it probably would look a bit better than that car with the light interior.

The back window looks like it could be darker as well. Id consider doing my back with limo tint, but I'm worried this will screw up my laser radar detector as it won't let much light pass through (manual says tint can effect results..)

Why not email those guys and ask?
Whatever you do... do the same to all 4 doors. I hate seeing rears darker than the fronts.
20% is really dark... very hard to see at night! 35% is my personal favourite for all around use... but I still sometimes think I'd go back to 20% just because of how amazing it looks during the day. SO hard to see at night though -- can't stress that enough!

Yeah I really haven't given night driving much thought either, good point. I agree that the uniform look is a lot more appealing.. Decisions decsions lol

When in doubt... go 35 all around.

Well if thats what 35% looks like I'd be satisfied, but I'd do my back window 20% and hope it doesn't mess up my laser detector
