Just had the windows tinted at 35%. I think it would have looked better a shade darker but I wanted to stay legal!

Picked up this beauty last month. Can’t stop looking at the different shades of grey. 30% tint on all side windows and 20% on sportback window

I think in the end you’ll be quite happy with that choice. It looks like you took that mid-day - and it’s quite bright. Even a little less light will make them look much darker. Looks good. Enjoy!

Totally agree with you, that tint level looks good, plus... a lot less likely to curb an $800 wheel at night when you have the light tint versus the dark tint.

I agree. I also live in an area where it's illegal to tint front windows, no matter what %. I ended up going 50% all around and I think it looks classy, sharp, and really ties in the black window trims and paint. Looks awesome midday when you get a subtle and smoked out view and appreciation for the interior from outside. Your car looks great!

Look at the shine / reflection! Fantastic! Do you use any special detail spray like Bead Maker to bring out that shine?

Thanks! Nothing special, just good lighting in that pic. Just got a 35% tint today and Chrome Delete next week though.

Bought OEM carbon fiber side mirrors and will have them wrap the lip and splitter to match. Everything else will be gloss black.

Ceramic coat in a few weeks

Ever see a pre-facelift 2019 S5 Sportback on 2021 20" Black Optics? The last piece of the puzzle has finally come in, had a set of Conti DWS06 Plus' slapped onto them and finished off with ceramic coating and they pop now. I've noticed a ride difference as well but haven't driven it long enough to know for certain, but it seems smoother and more comfortable than the Cavo's. Could be the air pressure.
