Default there are lots of modern tints that will offer you a lifetime of no troubles

and a warranty to boot.

the longest I've had a professionally tinted car is like 3 years, no problems, but i'm told it will last a lot longer.

Default I have heard that Llumar is high grade stuff, but have also heard that the ti(highest grade they

have), messes with your stereo reception...but most say its AM reception and some even say no it doesn't...*srugs shoulders*...beats me, I havent done it, cuz I want to get to the bottom of it first.

Default find a good tint place to get it done from... installation is key

I live in Southern California and got my tints done from Tint Connection. Look for things such as:

- Lifetime warranty on the work (will replace at no cost if ever bubbles/peels)
- Use 1 piece film for the back windshield
- Brand of tint (Ive heard Llumar and SolarGaurd are good)

The best way would be to have someone recommend a good tint shop in your area. Several people told me about their great experiences with Tint Connection and that is why I went there.

Default their highest non mirroed tint is llumar centaur and it doesn't mess with reception at all...

it's the mirrored tints that tend to mess with tint, not the other stuff.
