Tint Brand and Other Tint Questions on the Tahoe ?
I am going to be tinting my windows on my Tahoe soon and wanted to ask a few questions.
1. Have any of you installed high performance tint (Metal) and had a problems with interference with radio reception due to the antenna being in the rear quarter glass?
2. I have been looking into formulaone tint (Pinnacle series - Ceramic not metal) and wanted to know if anybody here has used them and their thoughts. Formulaone is the same company thats makes Llumar (CP Films). This paticular tint costs about 1/3 more and was wondering if its worth it.
3. What Brand of Tint did you use? What type of tint did you install metal , dyed, ceramic ? What percentage?
Thanks for your time.

I put 15% on the fronts metalized film it is worth the extra money over the dyed cause i promise you the dyed will fade and then you just have to do it all over again. Never heard of the ceramic but the metalized did not interfere with the radio and i have had several vehicles with the metalized film never had a problem

I have the factory tinted glass on all but the front two windows. I put 20% on them and they match the factory tint perfectly. No problems seeing through the side view mirrors either. The tint brand was 3M. I used the dyed stuff on a 2000 Ford Explorer and it faded to a purple tint after only about 3 years. 3M tint is about the only tint I will use from now on plus it has a lifetime warranty on fading.

I just had 20% added to my front windows this mourning and it was just a shade lighter than the back. 15% would probably match perfect.

RE: Tint Brand and Other Tint Questions on the Tahoe ?
Thanks for all the replies. I think I am going to try the Formulaone (Made by the same company that makes Llumar) Pinnacle Series (Ceramic). I will post pics after installation next week and let you know what I think. In addition to it not interfering with radio signals and more importantly to me, it has a little more heat rejection. Being in FL, I will take any help I can get. Summers here are brutal.
