i'm scheduled to get my crx tinted this coming monday morning. i can't decide on what percent, as well as if i want metallic or dyed tint. both have a lifetime warranty but it's said that dyed doesn't last as long as metallic. i've read that metallic tint can screw with your radio as well as you navigation system, which i do have a garmin mounted on my windsheild. also, metallic kind of shimmers. dyed doesn't have any metal in it so it won't affect your radio or navigation, but it's said that the color doesn't last as long and it's thinner, making it less durable than metallic. then i've heard that metallic tint is a little brighter shade than dyed tint. so i'm not sure at all exactly what to go with here, or what percent i should go with. my girl has 5% and it's way too dark. my buddy has 15% and it's pretty nice, so i was thinking 15 or 20. the legal tint limit in washington state is 35% but the cops will never pull you over for tint. i'm not sure exactly what percent to get also because i'm not sure about how dark the difference is between metallic and dyed tint. meaning, is 15% metallic the same darkness as 20% dyed? or is the difference really unnoticeable? and a buddy said not to get metallic because the dyed looks more matte black and looks much better on our cars, considering mine's red. i can't find a lot of pictures of tinted crx's that tell exactly what tint they're running. please give your input, info, and any pictures that may have, including exactly what you're running. thanks a lot guys
