Here's 60 tint all-around. Lol, it's almost like there's nothing there, but since I live in California and would prefer the same front/rear tint, I may go with this.

I actually like the subtle look. I'm too blind at night to have anything darker anyways.

According to the forums I found these from, they are Madico Winco 60, all-around. It kind of has a blue-hue to it, which I actually like, although it may be from the factory windows themselves as I know German cars have that factory hue sometimes.

20% all 4 windows. All my cars are at 20 and I like it. Nothing on the back since I have the shade and the tint shop didnt want to do it. Ive never done a windshield.

Make sure to go with Ceramic tint, especially if it's light.

I plan to do 50% all around including the windshield.

Should look clean and subtle.

Yep, definitely getting ceramics.

I'm going to do the same, 50 or lighter, similar to what I showed above (except the windshield for me).

I love that classy subtle look, too!

Lol, finally got my window's tinted. Only took six months to decide.

Pinnacle/Llumar ceramic air blue 80 all around (didn't know llumar and pinnacle were the same).

Forgot to take pictures when I was washing it, just ran to the garage and took one lol. It's very light and has a slight blue tint to it. I like it, a lot. Seems darker in the garage at this angle, but head on its barely noticeable. $445 installed. Cheaper than the $600 I was quoted for the high-end 3M ceramic, which was charcoal.

I'll take better pictures when I can.

Thanks! I'll take more pictures soon.

It's really light, but has that distinct look (sort of like those MBs with the factory blue-tinged glass), and something I was looking for since I wanted the same tint all around and this was the only legal one here in ca for the front.

From a distance, you can't really see it, but at the same time looks different, subtle.

I am getting mine redone today. 14% on the back windows/doors, 36% on the front door to keep the front legal.

Just had mine done last week. Pinnacle 40% sides and rear. Lightest I've ever gone, but I like it. Not too dark but you can tell they're tinted.

Here's another pic just now. Unfortunately I haven't had time to find one in bright sun, but this is Llumar Air Blue 80 all around.

It's light, extremely subtle, but this is exactly what I wanted. In different angles, especially if the sun is hitting it, you can see the light blue tint.

This is surprisingly darker than I thought it would be.

Yeah, I think it's the angle and lack of direct light more than anything.

It's really light looking head on.
