Question about tint.....

Since the antenna is built into the back window, would tint screw up my reception?

I'd like to get 35% all around.

Thanks!

Is it illegal to tint your windows so dark that nobody can see in them?

thanks

I have 20% all the way around, no radio reception problems here. I also had tint on my old Grand Prix 22% with the antennae in the back window, no problems there either.

I have 32% tint all around, I upgraded to the metallic based tint so that I wouldn't have to worry about fading. No radio reception problems here.

I had the same tint on my old car, a 97 Camry and on that car it did seem to affect the reception a little but, but nothing that bad. So far no noticable effects on the TSX.

I want to do a 30% on the front and 10% on the back 3. I hear the metallic tint is better. But I've been getting mixed reviews that it will hurt the NAV reception. I see it won't hurt the radio, just curious about NAV, since that is a little more important.
