Comments on Tinting and any pics of Santorin A4/S4s tinted.

Looking to tint my car-Santorin, looking for a nice look, nothing silver, but not sure what % to use, thinking 35% all around (legal limit)

(except front)
Semi-Metallic (just a bit of reflection - nothing flashy).
The other option was a non-reflective 'smoke' tint.

A dark interior will definately give it a darker look. Regardless, I would go 35% all around. No problem with auto-dimming mirrors.

Llumar may have the same products. Stick with name brand tints and use a reputable shop.

Santorin looks great with tint!

not reflective .. more the smoke/charcoal look. Not a big fan of any of the reflective tints ... smoke look is classier and looks better on our cars IMO
