My black GS is 35% and I'm plenty happy with it, PLUS I don't get hassled by the cops or during inspection (35% is max allowed by law in NC).. .not worth it. If you have black interior yours will look even darker.
Don't get metallic / semi-metallic if you have NAV

just to give you an idea, the limo & brow. Its illegal here too, but the only time Ive ever gotten hassled was when I was pulled over and left the windows up when he was walking to the car. I now kinda wish I did the front too but Id be afraid I couldnt see potholes at night..

Metalized Window Tint (AM radio reception impact?)
I am considering having my windows tinted 35%. I just read about that metailzed window tint can adversly affect AM radio reception. As metalized window tint is supposed to be better than just the plain old dyed tint, I was wondering if you guys that have metalized tint on the rear glass can tell me if it did affect your AM radio reception.
I listen to Sportstalk so AM reception is criitcal during football season - Go Skins! Carbon and cermaic are supposed to be better than plain old dyed tint but very expensive.
Thanks..
Neil

Can anyone hlp me out?
Scheduled to get the windows tinted Saturday. I want them done prior to the NELOC on 3/11. Is it better to go with cheap run of the mill 35% non-metalized tint for about $100.00, 35% metalized tint that may screw with my AM radio and future GPS (aftermarket) reception $130.00 or 35% Carbon - no metal tint $200.00?
As 35% tint in MD is not really legal due to the factory tint in our glass, there is some potential that I may have remove it.
How long does the cheaper tint last before it changes colors?
Thanks..
Neil
