For all you tint experts out there, I need your opinion. The choice is between Llumar High Performance vs. Madico. I know they are both pretty good but which would you choose? I know the Madico tints tend to be a little green in color. I was offered the same price by two different places. Any suggestions?

 

Between those two ?

- I would go with Huper...

 

3M or Llumar...

 

Madico is not only green, but I heard can mess with navi/satellite because its metalic based? I may be wrong. I have Llumar all around.

 

HEY GUYS JUST SO YOU KNOW I JUST GOT MY 05 6MT TINTED LIMO TODAY, YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE TINT HAS VERY LITTLE METAL IN IT, BECAUSE IF IT DOES ,YOU WONT GET THE FM/AM RADIO. THE BEST IS SOLAR GUARD FOR THAT CAR. TRUST ME

CALL THIS NUMBER ASK FOR JOE ASK HIS OPINION HE IS THE BEST.

Gee, why is he yelling at us??????????

 

hahah....I dunno...he must be super Old or sumthing.....jus call the number dammit...

 

Or maybe his caps lock button is broken or something...haha. Ouch my eyes and ears both hurt.

 

Let's get back to the topic..

I've been trying to find out as much as I can the difference between Solar Gard, Llumar and Madico tints.. it seems like none of the shops around Long Island NY use Madico as far as I know, and most shops use Solar Gard or Llumar or both. Can anyone inform us about the differences between these films?

 

wireless signal distortion could happen if you use a metallized film.............all film manufacturers carry a metallized and non-metallized line of films for this reason. As for differences between films, it comes down to clarity in the adhesives and heat rejection. We prefer to use Madico because, in our opinion, they have the clearest adhesives on the mkt. All of the films listed above would do fine and are excellent products.

 

what are the benefits of non metallic over metallic? I have navigation in my car and I've heard metallic is better for heat reduction and less likely to bubble/crack/fade but i dont know what effects it will have on the nav.

 

i have llumar and i love it

 

get anything but metallic tint, its know to disrupt radar and navi, just ask for the tint that doest have metallic in it

 

Unless you are planning on tinting the front windshield you shouldn't have a problem with the NAV system as the antenna is located in the front dash somewhere around between the steering wheel and the HVAC display.

 

I have heard conflicting stories about the mettalized film disrupting signals. Is this true or is it just hear say??
