Tinting questions

Postby slingshot » Wed May 26, 2004 12:59 pm

Does anyone have pics of their car tinted with 35% for the front windows and 20%(darker) for the rear windows and back window that they can post or have a link to? I'd like to see how that combination looks in this car. Trying to decide between gettting that combo done or 35% all around.

Also, has anyone put metallic tinting on? I'm worried how it might affect both the radio reception and the NAV GPS reception. Not knowing where the NAV GPS antenna is makes me worry.

If your going to tint the windows I would say have an even tint all around...

I have a mirror tint and it doesn't seem to interfere with reception, but keyless entry range seems to be almost cut in half.

Sup?

I've got platinum/mirror tint. 35% in the front and back and quarter windows are 20%. I had no choice. That's the legal tint in the state of KY and in order for the tint company to put a legal sticker on the car so I wouldn't get ticketed for illegal tinting. Otherwise I would have had 20% all around.

Check out this pic, I'm not sure if it will help or not. If not, let me know and I'll take more to focus of the tint difference of 20% & 35%.

You may want to check out your tint regulations if you want to stay legal.

Hope this helps.
