Tinting

Re: Tinting
The only place I have personally ever seen Huber Optik offered is at Danny's Family Car Wash in Phoenix and in Scottsdale, AZ.
I have not looked in other major cities (why would I?) but I'd bet that in some of the WARM weather cities, the higher end tint places do carry and install H.O. I bet you can get it in LA and NYC and probably Miami.
It seems to be rare - I have done the Google searches myself.

Re: Tinting
The price you pay for the tinting I think should also depend on the climate you live as well. In a place like Arizona I have no doubt it is worth that price. Luckily I live near the mountains so $590 would be out of my price range.

I had my car tinted 2 weeks ago with limo, in back and 50% in front. It looks great and is a lot cooler. Only problem, now my AM radio does not get a good signal and the FM lost about 10% of its signal. Any suggestions are welcome.

Re: Tinting
I doubt my tint is ceramic, since the dealer did it. I could be wrong, but I'm guessing they went the cheap route. It's not easy to get a vehicle from the dealer that isn't pre-tinted, being in AZ and all.
But I digress...
I believe my tint is metallic, and I've yet to have a problem with AM, FM, or Navi. I chalk it up to being lucky. I've heard of various degrees of problems with metallic tint on the Acura forums.

Re: Tinting
Now that I think about it, the only problems I'd have with metallic tint is Navi, since the AM/FM/XM antennas are outside of the car in the HAHs. And, the Navi works great!
