Window Tint

What % of tint did majority of you go with and did you go with the dyed or metallic style that "mess with the radio reception? Pictures would be great. I went with the 35% dyed type and in just 4 months its faded to a purple color. They are going to re tint it no charge and I am thinking about the metallic type that wont fade as long as it doesnt screw up the radio reception or cell phone usage. I did 35% but may go to a 20%

I have 3M CS tint, 50% front doors and 20% rear doors and rear windshield.

I've had no radio reception issues. I would not recommend 5% for the rear windshield because it makes it difficult to see at night.

Carbon fiber tint?

I went with 50% on the front because mainly I didn't want to get pulled over for tint. However, in some situations, my 20% and 50% look the same. On my previous car, I had 5% and 50% where there was a very noticeable difference.
