Did you use metalized on your personal car without any bad side effects?

 

18 years of tinting for me and pretty much all I use is Solargard. Just with anything else, we all have our opinions. It's all good. There are plenty of people out there that don't believe in Mazda products either. I'm not one. I own 2 of 'em.

 

I've always used metallized films. No problems at all.

 

Alright then. Thanks for your suggestions!

 

Fully metallized on my Protege. Metallized hybrid on my RX-8!!!

 

Plus......metallized films block more heat and insulate the car more. AC and heater work more efficiently.

 

Just got mine done
Got them done at Jim's detail at the south end of 509 where it meets 188th st.
paid $185
front windows 30%
side and back 20%
got a lifetime guarantee
They were pretty cool and I would have no problems recommending them

 

I have 18% Solargard True Grey in my car. It doesn't effect my radio or navi. Click my sig pic for additional images.

 

True Grey, in my opinion is the best film out there! But 18% is illegal in Wa. It's actually illegal in Florida on the 2 front doors also. The cops are probably more lenient down there, due to the heat, than they are up here.

Your rear windows are illegal for our state. You probably won't get nailed for it though. Your warranty is only good through the shop, not manufacturer-backed due to the illegality. If you went to a reputable shop then it doesn't really matter though.

 

YA...... I have lived in seattle for 10 years and this shop has been around the whole time and has a good rep

 

As far as a PRO tinter... try a great shop, SUNSHADE WINDOW TINTING, in EDMONDS, WA. The owner does the work, who's name is MARCUS. TELL him STEVE with the BLK RX8 highly recommended him, and he'll do ya right. Great guy, who's done all my cars for 15 yrs. now. His phone # is 425 397-7573....YOU'LL HAVE NO REGRETS :p
