    Opinion needed...Getting the tint done on my new B9 A4 so what would you do or chose.

    Where I live the front door windows have to be like this (considered legal) which is a 70% tint maximum (30% light blockage only) like in the pictures below.

    However the rear door windows and back window can be anything you want. In these pictures the rear sides are at 45% tint (55% light blockage) and the back glass (hard to see) is at 35% tint (65% light blockage). They call this a "gradual tint" from front to rear (from lightest to darkest).

    So there are 3 options available...

    1- Use the legal 70% tint (lightest tint) all around?

    2- Use the same legal 70% tint on both the front and rear door windows and go 35% on the back window?

    3- Or go gradual as in the pictures below: 70% legal tint up front, 45% on the back door windows and 35% on the back window only?

    Keep in mind the car as a black interior.

    I wouldn't think that it would matter for the rear doors and the rear window to match. A darker rear window may keep the car a little cooler inside. But having tinted rear windows & non tinted front windows looks goofy.

    The graduated tint looks really dumb in my opinion.....i'd rather go without tint than have mismatched tint. I'd go with 40% all around and take my chances.

    ^ or no tint at all. 70% is almost nothing anyway.

    I like my fishbowl :) never really liked tint, makes the interior feel smaller than it is. But to offer some constructive criticism, if you want to stay legal then either go the same all around. Or if you want darker in the back, then make the rear windows and back window the same value.

    i would recommend going with 35% all around, and go with a high quality tint. 70% is very minimal.

    I didnt 15 but no laws here against it i would go as dark as possible and go with llumar or some other ceramic tint. It protects the interior and rejects heat. I recently did my windshield in air blue as well.

    I would do the same % tint all around or no tint.
