metallic tints tend to interfere with the antenna's in ur car..
although i've never had any problems with our metallic tints in the previous cars.. it does degrade AM reception!

 

I have no problem w/ reception or tires, but was wondering what everyone else thinks about tinting the actual windshield ???

 

i would do it if i could.. but really light.. maybe 70%..
blocks the UV, helps protect the interior~

 

I think 70% is the standard on all cars. There is a clear UV sheild that you could consider if it is just the UV you are worried about.

 

70% + 70% doesn't equal 70%

 

Usually when describing tint, you reference the amount of light that passes through the tint. So for dark limo tint, usually around 5%, not so dark 20%, even lighter 35%, some states allow only 60% on front door windows. Not sure what most cars come with nowadays, but they do have some UV protection.
