I heard that Ammonia in the window washing fluid is what causes the purple

Ammonia is bad for tint....period. Ammonia is used to remove tins, lol. Helps breakdown the "glue" used.
I've never had ceramic tint before. I heard it's better for UV protection and helps with the heat factor. Also supposed to never fade. The place that has the ceramic tint said they have an extra warranty associated with just the ceramic films.

I thought the metallic tint was the type that messed with the radio.

This would make more since unless they put additives in the ceramic tint that could cause it.

My 2012 Hybrid with CVT does the same thing. Reminds me when I am not shifting into gears properly so I learned to back off on the power so it'll sync correctly with the wheels. Takes a couple of seconds.
Takes some getting used to and I personally like it now.

The time I really feel the jerkyness is when coming to a stop. It seems to always shift down right when I'm on the brakes around 10mph.

I have llumar ceramic on my car. It doesn't interfere with radio/nav/gps etc. It doesn't have metal in it. The metallic tints are the ones you want to avoid, because they can interfere with reception.

Yeah....I'm on that site and read about it. When I took the car in today to remove the pinstripe a service tech drove it and said it was normal. Shifting down to get better mpg. Doesn't really make sense but I'll leave it be for now.
Glad there is no pinstripe now....gave her a bath too.

is the stock horn weak? Civic/fit owners usually buy an accord horn as an upgrade. What's used as an accord upgrade?

Still has that meep meep horn. Not sure from what car the upgrade horn is from but sounds much better.

I don't think it's necessary the loudness of the sound, as it needs to off set the loud music inside closed cars, like the alternating wop-wop of the police sound. When, and if I hit my horn I'll use a repeated tapping, instead of one blast.
