Default Llumar Ceramic Tint

Anyone opinions on Llumar ceramic tint? It's hard to find an installer that will deal with ceramic here in the Orlando area - and the only one I've found sells Llumar, not 3M.

Llumar is a good quality tint. I have it on my GTO and I have no complaints.

I thought some of the guys mentioned the ceramic may interfere with the nav reception..but I have been wrong before.

I have the Llumar on mine and it works fine.

I think you might be thinking of metallic tints causing reception problems.

Its the other way around. Metallic 'may' interfere with Nav and cell reception, Ceramic does not. I have the Llumar Ceramic on mine and have no complaints. And unlike some Metallics, the Ceramic will not fade or discolor.
