Tinting question.

Has anyone with GPS had any problems with any metallic based tint?

The local shop told that he has had some people complain about the tint interfering with their GPS signal. He does have the 3M tint but it's about 100 dollars more for the job. Oh and the 3M is carbon based so no interference.

Lastly, does anyone here live in Alpharetta, GA? I can't find that many shops that do tinting, or if someone can point me in the right direction in Georgia that would be great too.

Most tint places i went to generally recommended carbon over metal.

I paid AU$240 (around US$215) to have my g done in SolarGuard Carbon 20%, honestly most tint places are negotiable as there is ALOT of margin in tint (it's mainly labour cost).

get ceramic tint not metallic - it may cost more now but if you get metallic you will end up redoing it and itll just cost more overall

is your friend. This topic has come up a few times!

I have had metallic tint for over a year now and here was my reply to a previous thread...

I absolutely love it and have had incredible results!

Yeah that helped me out alot. Thanks for all the replies. I will probably try to negotiate on the 3M.

not to mention that the antenna for the navi is on the dash, and not the rear window.

metallic based tint is fine, many owners including myself have it with no issues.
