Anyone got a good pic of a alpine with tint...??? Can decide to keep a clean look or tint the windows. I wanted a mirrorish finish, but that causes radio reception issues...ceramic is a little too expensive to remove and replace if I get pulled over..

Best tint I have ever had SunGard Endurance. It comes in 32% and 15%
It is semi-reflective, but within legal limits here in FL.
The tint actually takes on the color of the car, somewhat.
It is a metallic tint.
The sharkfin is on the roof, though.... I don't think the tint will affect your radio.

Keep it clean...no tint, so everyone can see that smile on your face! I think with the sports package and the black trim, either a dark tint or no tint looks good on an alpine white. I just prefer no tint...I think. In SoCal is tint necessary due to the heat?
