Default Window tint on A4

I just got a 2005.5 A4 (black of course) and I would like to get the windows tinted but not too much. The tint that came with the beast is not too dark, hardly noticeable. How much would it cost to tint the windows (good quality tinting) and what shades of tint are there? Any helpful websites?

150-300 dollars depending on where you go....there are many kinds of tint, don't get anything without a full lifetime warranty...don't get the mirror tint or the solar tint or anything but the standard black tint on a black car, if you want it to look decent..you can get anything from 5% (allows 5% of UV through, very dark) up to 50% (probably what you have now if your windows are already tinted)...every state has its own laws on tint, you can check with your local pd....the best place to go is a shop that does tint for dealerships...

here's jest's tint.....it also depends on what interior you have....if you have a black interior, it will make your tint look slightly darker, especially in daylight....

Sounds good, thanks for the tip. I will probably shop around this weekend, black A4 definetly needs tinted windows. Also, how much would it cost to put in 18" wheels for my car (approximately)?

wheels range in price...you can find a cheap used set with some tires for a few hundred bucks, or you can spend a few Gs....BBSs are really nice, but really expensive...ebay has audi replica wheels for pretty good prices....i guess if you want an approx. price, i'd have to say a grand for wheels and tires, new....

That is a VERY general question. You could spend $600-$6000 on 18" wheels.
