Default BTW, Dan they also have 28% there as well, but not in ceramic...

Might want to go that route as a happy compromise between the two.

They might say that it will screw up the radio reception, but I had the radio antenna pasted on the rear windshield of the Camry (just like in the A4) and never had any radio problems. My 20% tint was metallic:

Also don't worry about cops. I had 20% for 3 years and cops did not care one bit.

Default Yes, but you also have your front tinted as well. It's not really fair compairing heat...

rejection between your car and another car w/o the front tinted.

tint is not really legal in PA. with that said, 40% was the lightest the shop had to offer.

Default 35% is just right

Default They'll tell you to go with ceramic. They'll say that metal tint is bad for radio blah blah blah...

My research has revealed that metal tint affects only AM reception. How often do you listen to AM? It'll still work btw, just slightly worse than usual.

If I were to redo my tint, I would've went with 28% metallized tint.

Default btw, they've also cut my interior trim on the A-pillar a bit that I forgot to show you.

Please check the car very carefully when you get it back.
