OK....next Wednesday I'm getting the front side windows tinted on my '10 E. In the past I've always gotten the legal tint done, but I was wondering about going with the tint that's on the rest of the windows?? Also..what does anyone think about a banner tint across the windshield?? Had that done on my previous '05 E and liked it, but still wished the tint was in the windshield. Anyone here done that with a new E on the windshield?

Haven't done it yet, but I will within a month or so. I'm doing the front sides to match the rear and the windshield strip. Local shop here quoted $80 for the sides and $20 for the strip. Nationwide lifetime warranty with metalized film guaranteed not to discolor.

I have an 03 and both front windows are tinted (20%) and a 6 inch strip across the front (5%). I'm very happy with mine.

Does the metalized cause interference with radios/cell phones? I've heard your suppose to get ceramic to avoid this and keep all the great lasting qualities.

I've never heard of ceramic film, but I'm not up to speed on a lot of stuff. I'll have to check it out. As for the metalized film and interference, I've had it on several cars with no issues.

Metalized film can reduced radar detector range if you mount the radar detector behind the film.

Got the front sides done this morning. $60.25 with lifetime warranty. Didn't get the banner strip...I'm still thinking about that. Not sure if I want it. Decided on the legal tint for the side windows. I've been happy with that in previous cars.
