Personally, I will be tinting mine for sure. I think the vast majority of cars look better with some varietal of tint on them than not.

Keep in mind, even if you are clear by the letter of the law, if you are at the maximum legal tint you are inviting attention to yourself. If youre willing to accept having to deal with a pull over to talk with a cop and potentially have your tint tested every once in a while, go ahead. Particularly if youre in a group that they may want to hassle (for racial, age, or any other appearance reasons) this is something that should be in your thoughts

Very good point to consider. Thanks!

No regrets here. Mythos black with 35% all around, outside of Chicago.
Mythos Black with 35% all around. (Front plate has since been removed.)

No regrets.

35% on my previous A5, 50% on my new S5.

50% tint looks perfect, seems like all the glass has a even shade to it. Did you do the front windscreen too?
