Ceramic tint is a better quality tint but if you go with good quality regular metallic it will be pretty damn close. The whole point of ceramic is for people blue tooth, if I'm not mistaken. I know a guy that does ceramic for REALLY cheap, like 160 and he does really good work I'll post up his number tomorrow.

I did a search and I guess there are two types of tint you can go with

Metallic tint or Ceramic Tint

From what I read off a BMW M5 board I guess some people who have a metallic tint have some signal interference for small portable devices (GPS, cellphone, laptop) and can even interfere with radio/xm reception.


I read that Ceramic is best all around for keeping heat out and lasts longer.
