I can get my A4 tinted with Solargard Quantum Ti for $180, but I have a question...
I will be getting a Black/Ebony A4 Ultrasport so I want/need to tint the windows. I've decided on Solargard since everyone here likes the film so well.
My question is this:
The dealer will give me a warranty if I stay within my states legal tint %. However, they will do 28% all around on a cash/ no warranty basis. To keep the warranty I have to go with 37% on the front doors. I trust the dealer's skill to install the tint correctly, but is it worth giving up the Solargard warranty?

Well - I'm not sure about their logic... do you have other solargard places around?
OR - I'd guess they actually contract this out - so perhaps go right to the instller?
$180 is a good price however.

The advantages of Solargaurd
It's a metalized(sp?) tint so it reflects most of the solar radiation that heats up the interior. They have a great reputation here on AW as a quality film. Also, they have the Titanium finish which just looks Bad A$$!

Ziebart is also listed as a SolarGard dealer, but ...
I had Ziebart do a previous car and they had to redo the rear window three times. The dealer that quoted me $180 has been in business here in Evansville, IN since 1978 which really says a lot for them and they are very, very reputable and they do a great job. I may call Ziebart too see if they will do 28% all around with warranty...

Do you park out in direct sun alot?
If you garage your car at home and work then time in sun is limited and warranty may not be needed.
Also, how strict are the police in your area?
20% is really nice but no sense having it if you are likely to get pulled over and issued a fixit ticket.
If I were to do it over I would consider 20% on the rear window and 37% on front and rear doors.
