Jijio i lke your titnt even though its 50% i think it looks great, im not sure of going to dark on my monaco blue maybe 35 or 30 but now that i see your 50% i think a lighter tint on a darker color woul dlook awesome.

First of all, the picture I included in my signature is not a good representation of the tint. It is not that dark.

Here are my reasons for having gone with 50%.

1. Do not want to get tickets for tint.
2. I want people to see me in my car.

3. Heat rejection is fantastic with Formula One at any shade
4. My interior is black, therefore 50% will look a little darker than it is.

Suntek lists the Carbon Fiber series at their highest quality product without metal. Several of the other lines have metal in the tint.

Was it Suntek Carbon? I was going to go with that initially but decided on Formula One.

For $150 you think it was carbon? Nope... jsut the regular metallic based one. Carbon would have been another $50, totaling $200 which isnt bad. But I'm not worried about reception. the NAV antenna is in the front windshield not rear.
