Question Johnson Silhouette tint

I am offered to put Johnson Silhouette tint on my X5. I have not heard of this brand before. Is it good? Does it interfere with radio reception? Anybody has first-hand experience?


Thanks!

Llumar ATX looks interesting. I'll try to get a quote from the guy for this film.

By the way, I have Rear Climate Pkg, which comes with darkened rear windows. Would the tinter have to peel this tint off or is it sprayed onto the window and cannot be taken off? (Wife took the X5 this morning so I cannot just walk by and see for myself)

The windows on the E70 with rear climate pkg are smoked, the glass has this permanent shade. If you decide to go with tint, it will simply be applied the existing glass.

I went with Formula One Pinnacle. It looks awesome, the best part about this tint is that it matches the color tone of the rear windows, as I also have rear climate pkg, so when the tint was applied it just darkened the transparency. Most other ceramic tints had a silver or a blue hue to them, and applying them over the current smoked rear windows would make the car as a whole look funny because the rear and front windows would not have the same color consistency.
