<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/64540/s4side3tint.jpg"></center><p>Tint is 35% on the sides and 18% on the rear. Really like how the anthracite looks on santorin we'll see how they hold up to the potholes around here. Pretty tough to beat 4 rims and tires for $1200 with those looks though. No remarks abouth the wheel gap, I'm working on it.

Default Really, I think the lip itself provides enough contrast. I also thought the silver finish would

have looked a little too plain. I couldn't be happier with how they turned out. I just hope they hold up as I heard some conflicting comments on Flik's quality when I researced them. Just need to slam it now.

Default Yeah, they are not as dark in person as thet are in the pics but still they are darker than some

other gunmetal type finishes I have seen. I love that quote BTW , I wish they would make a bumper sticker out of that one(not for the S of course).
