I am going to tint my black A3. Initially my plan was to tint 20% dark tint make the car look like one big black thing.

So here is my question: it occured to me if I tint the car a dark black I am going to completely loose the lovely shapes of the windows. I love the shape of the windows. So my question what colour tint do people think will look good on a black car and will show off the the shape of the windows, suggestions? Ideas? Comments?

Pictures if you can, I'm a very visual person.

Thanks in advance.

V-Cool is another good brand that is popular in Asia

Something with a slightly silvery look might look good if you are going with polished or machined finish wheels. Just look out for metallic tints, as they can interfere with cell phone and radar reception.

Or no tint because it's a lease?

Debating between huper optik and solargard / llumar myself. Looking at 50% or so all around.

However, we are going to tint some of our other car this Spring, and I think we'll use Huper on those.

i think the black tint would look sharp. my thoughts are what does the state law allow? also the safety issue if other drivers can't see the pilot. but the best reason to get it is the UV protection. i just heard that 40 mins of driving amplitudes your sun exposure to 80 mins. Maybe more with the Open Sky. sun protection is a must on hands and face.
