Window tinting

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,

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

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

Sorry Bob, but you should come out to play!

This is the Duke of Westminster's little pad! Used to do my TT pics outside Blenhiem Palace, must have a thing about big gates

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.
