Default Pictures of 3M 70% Crystalline tint?

While I've seen a couple images of random cars with 3M 70% Crystalline tint throughout, I'm curious if any B9 A4 owners out there happen to have this same tint and if so, if they'd be so kind as to share some pictures.

I'm on the fence between leaving my new Midnight Blue A4 stock or having it tinted and could be swayed either way. I fully understand the features and benefits, but Crystalline seems to look somewhat "mirror-y" with a noticeable blue/purple tinge to it which is a bit of a turnoff.

I don’t have 3M - 70%, but I love my clear fishbowl of an A4 since I have rocked double 5% for the last 8 years. It is large change to my driving experience.

Can anyone confirm if 2018 B9’s come stock with a clear UV film on the windows? A clear bra installer told me this, but not sure if it’s true.

I did 60% Crystalline on all side windows, and 40% for the rear. Heard about and had the same concern about the color for 70% (the legal limit where I live is 70% for front row windows). Did a Google search on images, and did see the 60% and below has similar color while the 70% looks more blueish. I think the tint color looks fine on my Mythos black on black.
