I have 35% CTX installed on all four doors and rear windshield, combined with Llumar Air Blue 80 on the front windshield, and there are no problems whatsoever with cell or GPS reception. Optical clarity is excellent, although I can't comment on durability since I make it a point not to touch my windows and I roll them down as little as possible.

I thought one of the major selling points of ceramic tint (other than heat blocking) is that it doesn't have these problems. I'm using LLumar Axcess tint, zero issues.

Went to the installer with CTX on the mind and came out with Huper. Just happened to walk into the only auto installer in TN. Went with 40 all the way around and I'm really glad extra. Came out to about 440.

$440 seems pretty steep to me. But grats on getting it done! Pics or it didn't happen!
