Llumar ATR 20 Tint

Will this degrade my FM radio reception? Anyone have it from experience?

Is there a good alternative. I know of Llumar ATX in ceramic but they have no 20 its 15, or 30 which won't work for me. Maybe I should wait until ATX makes a 20.

Thinking about SolarGard Supreme 28 which is a 23 light visibility. Safe for radio reception, gps etc. Any thoughts.

I'm looking for a lifetime warranty, & something that will not need to be replaced ever for fading, color change, peeling, etc. hopefully. Want excellent quality film only.

I have the Solar Gard, cant think of the type, but it is 20% and does not affect reception and looks great.

Actually metalic tint is known to effect radio signals and radar signals to a certain extent. So to the OP if you have a radar (and dont want to lose any preformance) go for ceramic tint.

It also effects GPS badly. I've tried 4 different GPS receivers for my carpc and they only work at the very front of the dash. Anywhere else in the car surrounded by the tint and they can't get a signal lock. Worked fine before the tint.
