I have a 4dr 2004 honda civic and I want to get my windows tinted. However I really want a high solar rejection percentage...I also don't want to get interference with my radio.

What I was thinking was, to get a metalized film for everything except the back and then just get that nonmetalized film. Also, is there anything I can do to make the front windshield to get heat rejection?

I don't know what to do. I can't find a shop that will do this(maybe i haven't searched around enough) but it would also be nice to get a 25 VLT% (the legal limit in tx) because I can't find a place that will do lower AND do what I want.

What should I do? Also if you know any good places around the Houston, or even San Antonio or Austin area let me know that will do this.

Thanks!

 

if the tint shop will not tint the windows darker then go talk to the tint guy.... offer to pay him off the books to tint your car.... either at his garage or at your garage...
tinting windows can be done anywhere in a shade if he wants to make some money he shouldnt have a problem doing it. just be sure if it has a bubble if he will fix it or not....
i need to get my new 96dx retinted! it does have alittle tint on the car BUT i want it darker and a whole back window tint! not cut around the 3rd brake light!
at least the tint is not bad right now. just not dark enough for me!

 

Does anyone's tint actually effect their radio reception? I have 20% on my civic on all windows and it has not effected my reception at all.

 

not to my knowledge.... your antena is on the outside of the car. now it can posibly hurt your cellphone reception and other things that are inside your car like radar detector, and a alarm proximity/motion sensors as well....
but tint is far great to have IMO. any downfalls from it are insignificant to me! give me my tint

 

That's what I thought too.

 

I have no problem with my cell phone or radar or satelite radio. i have 5% tint.

 

I can't find the attena outside? I am not looking in the right spot?

And its the metalized films that may interfere not non-metalized...it doesn't really matter how dark the tint is to affect it.

 

The metalized film looks stupid. Sorry but if you get that, that is rice.
