My tint place used a non-metalic charcoal tint. It was about $370 with feltskin. I'm not sure if it was ceramic or not.

The Nav antenna is outside of the car so it shouldn't be affected.

BT obviously operates inside the car, but your phone will also be inside the car when you are using it, so it should also be ok.

I had to put non metallic on my Acura TSX due to the Navi antenna being in the rear windshield. Can it be confirmed for sure that this is not the case with the C? Maybe the antenna on the roof is for Navi?

Formula One Pinnacle Series tint (ceramic). If you're located in NOVA, there's a tint shop in Sterling, VA called LA Tint. Highly recommended.

So for those that have gotten the tint. How many of you had the feltskin / moleskin installed? Is it required? Those that didn't have you gotten any scratches on your tints yet?

I have non-metallic charcoal tint. 20% Madico brand with no moleskin. No scratches. My car has 700 miles on it though, so my opinion for moleskin is useless.
