Metalized provides better cooling and i've heard it stops more UV rays but I just love the look of regular ol smoked tint.

Um.....I had heard that the glass in the windows stops 99% of the UV rays, and adding tint only increases it to like 99.5%.
Like azcms once said, that's why you don't get sunburned while driving.

If you have a Radar Detector or EZPass I would go with the regular tints.. the metallized tints hinder the detection. but if you're not going to get either one of these things then go with the metallized ones..

metal :thumbdown: .... go carbon! or if you can afford it, ceramic.
I have put Huper Optik tinting on & its great. Ceramic i think. slightly more than reg tinting tho. The sun through the glass has no heat. opposed to my truck with reg tinting I can still feel the heat even though the glass is tinted darker. reg tinting cuts the light & UV but not the heat, others do a better job of that.

I heard that Metallized tint interfeers with the antenna in the rear window or something. Ceramic is the best.
