EXCELLENT TNT, if u want to go all out, get the 3M carbon-based tint... its not metallic so it doesnt interfere with your reception...

Is there any other advantages of going with a more expensive tint?

So even cheaper regular black tints have metallinc in them?

most tint is metallic...

you can either go ceramic or carbon-based, like the 3M, which is what i have, but its extremely expewnsive...

Mr. Tint in Escondido and I think there's one in Vista too. Got mine done there and it looks great. And yes, pay the extra for the better tint, youll be glad you did.

On my past 3 cars I've gotten the cheaper stuff, maybe next time around I'll go for the gusto and see what high class tint is all about, lol.

does it reflect more light or uv with the more expensive tint? why should one pay more for tint if they all essentially do the same thing?
