Getting a window tint that has HIGH Solar rejection but doesn't interfere with radio?

I have a 4dr 2004 honda civic and I want to get my windows tinted. However I really want a high solar rejection percentage...I also don't want to get interference with my radio.

What I was thinking was, to get a metalized film for everything except the back and then just get that nonmetalized film. Also, is there anything I can do to make the front windshield to get heat rejection?

I don't know what to do. I can't find a shop that will do this(maybe i haven't searched around enough) but it would also be nice to get a 25 VLT% (the legal limit in tx) because I can't find a place that will do lower AND do what I want.

What should I do? Also if you know any good places around the Houston, San Antonio or maybe even Austin area let me know that will do this.

Thanks!

i believe its metallized. some shops stopped using it because people complained, but i never noticed. maybe 35% isnt dark enough to matter.

Strip the tint and go stock. Much better for health (mood in particular), especially in winter. Cheaper too, and I don't like driving around in a coffin personally.
