Window tinting

Post by deansheehan » Wed May 03, 2006 1:39 pm

Not really RS4 specific but due to take delivery in around a month (Daytona Grey) and noticed a regular A6 the other day with tinted windows and looked very cool.

Anyone got experience with aftermarket tinting?

Don't want to pimp my ride up too much but I think it may work well against the daytona grey. Have also considered anthraciting the alloys as well.

I'm sure plenty of you guys have opinions :-) share?

cheers,
- Dean

I've heard good things about http://www.pentagonglasstech.com for window tinting.
Cheers,

if you can imagine Daytona rather than err, dark Daytona... It'll look something like this! Tint is gradual front to back.

i have the same dilemma, and as audi only do one tint (not 2 or three grades from light to dark) its even more of a dilemma as I reckon the audit tint for the avant is a smidge too dark...

forgive me for my ignorance, but how do audi/aftermarket chaps actually do it? is it a film they put on the window? is it an interior-door-panels-off- and-glass-out job?

cheers

The ones I know of use tinted film but I'd prefer proper smoked windows tbh

Thanks for all the replies. I think a light tint will work really well and pentagonglasstech seem to have a good pedigree.
