Anyone intsalled metallic tint and have interference issues?

Just checking to see if it affects our cars before I get it installed this weekend.

Thanks.

Some installers will tell you metallic film won't effect your navi, radio etc blah, blah, I honestly will prefer ceramic tint.

Hi,

How is the quality for the Carbon Tint? One of the tint shop in my neighborhood don't carry Ceramic but they have Carbon tint.

SunTech Carbon line FTW

FYI: tint of any sort will effect laser/radar detection.

I've never install carbon tint so I can't give any feedback.

I did SunTech on my STI, loved it, have yet to tint the TL but that's what I'd do again in a heartbeat (cars are almost the same gray too).



FWIW I had no issues with interference .... but that probably had more to do with the antenna being on the roof. No decernible difference with cell coverage inside the car.
