But this time when I got it tinted and I used my blinker, I would here the click of the blinker through the speakers in a "feedback/static" kind of sound. I know its odd. SO then with my Si, I did some research b4 tinting. I found out ceramic based tint will avoid this. No problems now


Remember our antennas are built into the back window. An external antenna will not be affected. (well it shouldnt be)
