Lookin for pics: Brilliant red with tint

[orskier]

Just bought an '08 Avant 6MT brilliant red/black and looking to do tint. I'm struggling on the tint level to get. I'm looking for pictures with brilliant red and different tint levels to help me decide. Any helpers out there?

Congrats on the car! Brilliant red is my favorite (very biased) but here is a pic with 32% from Ziebart.

EDIT: I'm assuming you have a black interior (brilliant red/black) The black interior will definitely help make your tint look darker. 32% is pretty good, dark enough during the day for me and I can still see at night for the most part. I roll down my window and use the adjustable mirror when I'm parallel parking at night... That's the only time I can't see with the tint. My girlfriend has 20% fronts and limo in the back on her X5 and it is very hard to see at night. I can't see anything behind me at dusk through the rearview mirror when I am driving her car.

us brilliant red owners seem to be partial to 30-35% tint

[MOFSTEEL]

Lovin all the red. My favorite color.

[B6QTRO]

I agree

[B6QTRO]

Lovin all the red. My favorite color.

[Glassnpowder98]

[i3oricua]

[groggy]

35%

Are those wheels still available?

[RedS-line]

i have 3m cs 20% which is actually more like 16% it looks great. 35% does not look that dark in direct sunlight.... no pic tho

[orskier]

WOW! Talk about red coming out of hiding! Lovin all the representation! Thanks for the great pics! I'm liking the 35% all the way around.

CZA420tAvant, I haven't heard of the sag issue. Please do share! Sounds like something I need to know before pursuing that mod further.

Now, now....I don't think we can have another brilliant red B7 Avant tooling around these parts and going to Sunset...we were there first!

It's a great car, we love ours....we're out in Hood River, but are often seen out your way as well...

Don't have any current pics with the tint on, but yes, you'll love it even more with tint, and we think the 35% all the way around is perfect. It's also legal in OR, which is a good consideration to think of as well. You might check out this guy, we've had good luck with him, and have sent others to him as well (in Gresham) http://windowtintking.com/

Cheers!

20% from a few different angles







congrats on your selection

[redhott06]

^^ your avant is so sexy! i was going to get lm's before i got the rs-gts... beautiful

[orskier]

artinmoTTion, thanks for the tint referral! Sounds like we need a brilliant red meet-up!

Do you mean if I was selling them? I know they were included with the stasis package then they changed to another set of champion wheels.

+1

Just to let you know, 35% looks nothing like any of the pictures. Most cars dont even look noticeably darker with 35%. I can't even tell there is tint on my friend's car. If you want heat rejection go for huper optik tint with a light percentage. If you want privacy tint that is easy to see out of but looks dark for the the 3m. no joke, i can see better with this ceramic tint than my friends metallic/dyed 35% at night

I believe Stasis used to use Volk wheels before they switched to selling the Stasis package with Champion RS147.
The Rf62's were never sold with the Stasis package and they are no longer in production.

If you're lucky you might be able to pick up a set that a vendor still has laying around. Try Stasis or SPP.

Sorry I meant if they were still being sold by retailers.

I seen 2 Stasis A4's with the RF62's being sold at Continental Audi a few months ago when I was there for service.

I picked up the last silver RF62's that Stasis had around a few months ago.
According to Champion they are no longer being produced but there is a small possibility they could make another run of them if the demand is there.
I've never seen the RF62's on a Stasis car but its a possibility that they threw them on to get rid of the rest of their stock. Last time I went to Conti every Stasis car had the RS147's.

Maybe Jared from Stasis can shed some light on this subject.

Below are the Volks they used to use.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll call Stasis tomorrow.
