Hi all, new to this part of the forum, just a tint guy. I had a Kenwood DDX7015 unit installed in my 06 F-250. They did a great job with it, and the unit seems to be just as good, mainly wanted the satelite radio hook up with something that would fill the hole where the factory unit resided. The installer told me that he had to use a trim kit for a F-150 and add some spacers to it for a decent fit. I am wondering if there is a trim kit that would make the unit fit in the dash cleaner? It looks good, but the guy told me that it could look a lot better with the right parts. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Another question

When using a hybrid film, what percentage of installs do you see RF interference complaints from the car owner? What percent when using all metal film? AM? GPS? CELL? KEYLESS? I've seen plenty of posts saying radio or GPS interference is more a non-issue than an issue. Is there a percent number that can be assigned those complaints you receive from a customer of yours? There are solutions to AM radio interference or loss, but for GPS it becomes a different challenge due to the placements of its antenna. AM antenna on back glass and metal in film have an easier fix than GPS (or cell for that matter). Any feedback?

Aside from the fact that I, too, think that the HP..........(suntek/3M, same stuff)........does *not* have a blue hue to it, (I also don't think the HP has fade issues as I've noticed it to hold its color rather well) Anyway, I'd really like to see what the 3M NR stuff looks likeon glass. Supposedly it's quite black which sounds nice, but still curious. Anybody got pics of it??

Just curious how many of you all have Nextels, I'm curious to see how they work across the country. Farthest I've connected is Philly from Eastern NC. I have found them to be very convenient in daily biz for us, our two shops are about 100 yds apart and sometimes I am off site, it makes it quick and easy to ask a quick question instead of calling over the phone. If anyone wants to try theirs out, IM me with your DC #.

Hey all tint pro's A question for you regarding filing tint. Is it common these days for most professionals to file tint? For instance I have noticed some cars that have been simply cut and fit and the finish is terrible. Can you only file tint on cars that have no door frame around the window? Also, can filing cause small chips on the window edge or does some auto glass already have some flaws. I just thought tempered glass was very hard and was difficult to scratch or chip unless it is hit very hard with a rock from a mower etc. I have watched tint professional filing tint and it amazes me that you don't damage the glass when it's being done, it sounds terrible when i…

Residential Film without blue hue?
Hey guys I am in the process of having window film installed in my home but have a question about which brand I should go with. Hoping yall can help me out. I have a room that faces a busy street and as a result my blinds pretty much always stay closed. I love having natural daylight but not so much people being able to see what i'm doing in my room/all my expensive equipment. I used to work in the window film industry as a helper/installer/salesman when I was in highschool and we did a lot residential/commercial work. The specific brand of film we used always left a certain blue and cool appearance. Is there any brand of residential film that does not have this effect? I mainly just cannot stand having blue light amplified and am looking for a film that has a neutral shade to it or even a warm/yellow hue. I have single pane windows and I do not necessarily care about heat rejection but if I have to pay more for a ceramic film rather than a dual reflective or a standard film I am willing to if that helps solve the issue. Again, any help is really appreciated with this there are so many new window film brands out there and it really is cool to see how far the industry has come. -

Automotive Tint Comparison
LLumar, 3M and Solargard have in the industry as far back as the genesis of window film mid-1960's). Solargard is the younger of the three and all others came to play in the last 20 or so years. I've had all three on my vehicles over the years and my current is 3M Crystalline on my Jeep since 2015. It still has stable color, scratch coat is holding strong and impeccable adhesive clarity. Never been garaged. My choice toady would be 3M or LLumar. -

South facing window tint
Once more thank you, you are the best I been looking at the specs for the products you mention and info into tinting a window. I recently did wrap my wife's car and it turn out really nice, for what I have been seeing tinting a window is similar and I am tempted to do it myself. With that said I can't find any place to buy the products you mention, I found quite a few films in Amazon but they seem sketchy. There is other web sites selling films but the ones you mention I can’t locate, anyhow is there any place where I can buy this products?- 1
