Default tint suggestions for newbie!

I recently bought my used 2004 A4 and am bringing it in for a tint. I was hoping for some feedback from you seasoned owners as to what % you think looks best. It's stock- may change rims/wheels, but that's it. Nothing too flashy for this driver Should I go darker than 35%?
Pic in sig.
Thanks!

I went with the legal limit in Ontario which is 35% which is great for me. Dark enough and can still see at night! Do you have a shop in mind yet? Where are you located?

Thanks for the feedback. I was thinking 35% as well. I'm in Kelowna BC and am heading to shop recommended by the local dealership. They seem to have a decent reputation, reasonable pricing and guaranteed work.

I got my one car tinted at tint king, all legal as well and my a4 still seemed ultra dark. At night it was a heat score, but i had no problems with the law

Unhappy Re: tint suggestions for newbie!

Funny you should be talking about window tints. I just got pulled over tonight for it being at 22%. Here in MN they want 50%. He didn't give me a warning or anything..wrote me a ticket and court date and sent me on my way. Jerk!
I bought it that way..I am trying to find out if it's factory tint.

i believe you can go as dark as you want with all windows except for the drivers side and passenger side in the front of the vehicle......so 35% is the legal limit for the front. and you can go as dark as 5% for the back, and still be legal

Hi, new to forum, but not so new with my A4. Finally decided to do some upgrades.

Any place you suggest MAlby7 for decent tinting? I am in Richmond Hill.

Thanks,

I got my windows tinted at a place called Lazer Tint in Woodbridge. they are located at Hwy 407 and Weston Rd, across the street from Paramount banquet hall (129 Rowtree Dairy Road, Unit 9, 905-850-6655).
