Default A5 Windows Tint
Summer is hot! Thinking to tint A5 windows myself. Is anyone self tinted their A5/S5? Was that a easy job? Is the back window curve a lot? Any input is appreciated.

Don't do it. Window tint is a skilled trade that takes years of practice. If you can afford a a5 you can afford the $200 or so for tint.

I've seen people tint their own windows and the end result is not pretty. Lots of bubbles and looks better untinted.

Thanks for all replies, I may just find a tint shop to do it. Any recommendations in Boston area?

I have a black a5, do I need anything lower than 35%? I was thinking 30% all around

or maybe 35 in the front and 20 in the back.

opinion?
