Window Tint Question
I'm looking to get my ZL1 tinted asap, I've read that metallic films can interfere with electronics such as iPods, Nav, Bluetooth, Radio, Cell Phone, etc. Has anyone had any experience with a metallic based film on their Camaro? I have no idea why type of tint was used on my 2010..
In my area there is a shop that uses 3M film, but I've heard from several people that for the price, 3M is NOT worth it. The other places around me use Solar Guard which is a metallic film. I'm just wanting to make sure my electronics aren't screwy because of a metallic based film....

The only issues I've heard of are on the rear window as the FM antenna is in the glass.

Ceramic is your friend and it has lifetime warranty.

I went with Huper Optik tinting, great quality and no problems.

The Huper Optik I went with is a ceramic with the highest heat rejection they offered. It's definitely the most expensive, but in the world of tint you really do get what you pay for. It is a multi-layer ceramic with nano-ceramics... I mean the fancy sounding stuff alone is an extra $50 or so.

I also put IR tint on my front windshield. That really helps keeping the "heat' out, as opposed to all my other tinted windows keeping the 'sun/glare' out. The IR is about 70%, and really can't tell I actually have tint on the front windshield, as most states it is 'illegal' to have front window tint.
Just a suggestion if you haven't thought about it. |

Go with 3M - they have multiple grades and lifetime warranty.
