Window Tint ???

I'm looking to tint my windows. I've found a couple places and the ones that give a lifetime warranty are metallic. I asked if this would impact radio reception, since the antenna is in the back window, and one place honestly said he's had some issues with this....(but they were Caddies and other GM cars). Does anyone have any experience (good or bad) with these metallic tints?? I'm looking at Formula One. Also not sure if I want 28 or 35%?? Anyone know of any good shops in the North Denver (Colorado) area?? Mainly wondering about the radio reception, but any other info would help too!!

I have a Graphite Tint that is basically Metallic. I have not noticed any radio reception loss. I live in the DC metro area and I can pick up Baltimore area radio stations just fine.

As a matter of fact, it is the same with my aftermarket system. No reception loss.

Hey Big Dog...thanks for the reply. I think I'm going to just go and get it done. Maybe see if they can have the radio on while installing and see if it cuts reception before they even put it on. Do you know what kind/brand of film yours is? I think this place uses a brand called Formula One.

Can anyone recommend a good brand of window tint? The place I may go to (Ziebart) is trying to sell me their premium "Onyx" tint.

Ziebart does a great job on tint! (at least mine did) I'm not even sure what kind of tint they put on mine, but I know it looks terrific. Ziebart in North Olmsted, Ohio does good work.
