I also have super dark maximum heat rejection metal based tint and my radio reception is unaffected.

Drew them up from the originals and had them cut by a mate with a vinyl cutter...

Ill have to agree those stickers do look pretty cool!!! I like them!!

Hopefully still slightly related topic .... aftermarket tinting or factory privacy glass?

I'm hearing the privacy glass has no UV or heat rejection properties, and already lower than legal limits so matching the fronts might be near impossible (legally).

What would everyone recommend? non-privacy glass and aftermarket tint all over, or privacy at the back and aftermarket at the front to match (legally) ?

You've answered your own question...
Privacy glass has no benefits in our climate..
Even lighter tint will reject the heat.

WRT: Privacy glass on front windows is still legal - as it's factory fitted...

In our climate, the benefits of film based tint far outweighs the simple darkness of factory privacy glass.

Thanks Toombie

What's the black tint product you used on yours? Looks very cool along with the stickers.

Unsure of what brand, it's a very dark metal based tint.

It was installed by request through MLRs tinting contractor.

It's not compliant with SA regulations though, by a long margin!

Those are actually really good prices. Who did the work if you don't mind me asking?

I had my D4 done by this mob: Carbon Car Systems
