Default New S4 owner, looking for pics of black cars with lighter tint

Hi all,

I recently purchased a 2005 Brilliant Black S4 from one of my best friends from college. The car has 38k miles and black/silver alcantara seats, 6 speed of course... Im coming from a stage 2 WRX and I am loving the refinement and torque of this car. I want to get the windows tinted but I dont want to go dark, for some reason I dont like black cars with dark tint. I am thinking 35%, maybe even 50%. I have searched for pictures but have not found many of black cars with these levels of tint as it seems most people go with 20%. I am also looking for a good tint shop in SW CT or Westchester Co, NY that offers a lifetime warranty, reasonable price, and carries non-metallic tint. I have also searched for this but have not come up with much. If you have a black car with 35% or 50% tint, please post a pic and if you know of a good shop in my area, let me know. Thanks.

Sean

Default Mine are 35s, check pic poster

Note that they're not as dark as they look in the pics... they look darker because of lighting/clouds.

Default I've got 20% and I somewhat regret going that dark. Car looks good from the outside but...

hard to see at night when backing up, turning, etc when there aren't any streetlights around

Default btw Tint King in Bridgeport is probably one of the best around.

I've seen two black B6 S4s that went there, both came out fantastic. Wish I had mine tinted there to begin with...
