Default 2012 Quartz gray A8 tinted - 30% Pinnacle ceramic

I had my car tinted yesterday by Accutint of Bellevue, WA. I chose the F1 Pinnacle film at 30%. My last car had 20% on it which looked nice, but I had serious visibility issues at night.

I drove this car with 30% around last night and it was considerably better. It doesn't have a limo-tint look, but I think that it's classy. There are a lot of air bubbles and such in the film, which is expected at this point. When the film has cured, I'll post my final impression of the film and the installer

Very nice. I went with 50% tint to stay legal in my state but would have preferred 30%. Looks great!

I wanted 40%, but my tint guy refused to install any illegal tint and I wanted front and back to be the same, so I also went with 50%.

Looks great!! I'm a little torn about colour. I went with Quartz because of the crappy winters here in the NW - and keeping it clean is tough. When freshly cleaned, the car looks best in black IMO.

Anyhow, I can recommend Accutint as having done a good job. All the bubbles have gone and the cutting of the film is top notch.
