The lower the percent number, the darker it is...limo tint is usually around 5%...ceramic tint is the highest quality.

What I want to know is whether normal metallic tint affects the nav or radio or anything. Anyone know?

i know the lower the darker but i still dont know which film is darker. i know jonson film is darker the 3m but i dont know if ther is any darker then jonson.

p;s im looking to do 5% all around and 35% front and want the darkest possible. yes i did think of going double limo on sides and back. but then you cant see out at ALL.

Tint shouldn't affect sat or radio as all the antennae are outside the cabin. If you use a V1, anything other than ceramic tint will kill your reception and make the arrows useless as you will have reflected signals.
