Metallic Tint?

AmooManiak · 09-10-2016, 11:45 AM

Does anyone here have metallic tint on their car? Any interference with the GPS/Radio/TPMS sensors? Apparently it has different effects on make, model or window tint brand...

I'm sure lots of f10s has metallic tint, but haven't seen posts regarding trouble with the things you mentioned.

i have metallic tint on my DD and it does effect radio reception mainly due to the fact that i have my radio antenna in the rear window.

why go metallic, why not go ceramic, from my research a good ceramic will give you better light refraction properties.

I thought metallic looked better, but maybe it's just my eyes. They have ceramic for the same price, which is what I had on my Audi

The metal tints are what turns purple over time. Better to go color stable or ceramic. Different ceramics will have various colors to them (brown/ greys/ blues). Overall depends for what you are looking in a tint.
