Tinting my 07 XLE

I'll be brief. Some say don't get the tint with metal because it may interfer with antennae. Is this true or not. The guy at tint shop is recommending Lemar. Chime in peps and give me some advice. Thanks.

It shoud not affect it. Lumar film is excellent, I had it on my old car and it never bubbled, faded or cracked, I would HIGHLY recommend it.

A good tint shop will better answer that question. My tint shop warned me of certain metallic tints that degrade radar detector strength (for reception of waves). But if your concern is GPS navigation, ask a few tint shops...they are in the business to help you

Lumar make great tints. Get the Platinum Plus, it's the higher grade tint. Cost a little more but it's worth it. I had it installed on my last 4 cars.
