i called and have an appt for sat. should i get 20 or 30? i want it all the same but 20 on front isnt legal here....but i want it dark so i might do it anyway. what do yall think?
Are you kidding me? I've seen more cars in FL with black out/mirrored windows than anywhere, ever. I really don't think the cops care about that stuff down there. For the record, this is when used to live in Cocoa Beach and Tallahassee.

Here is my car, it's 20% all the way around. I got it done in West Palm Beach last summer.

yea there are people here w/ 5% and all. how hard was it to see at night?
 
I honestly thought there was no limit in FL. Nearly every FL car I've ever seen has windows so black you'd think they were painted!

5% tint sucks ass, you can't see s***.

20% is more than enough in my opinion, anything darker and it becomes unsafe at night. I'll be honest, sometimes I have trouble looking out my windows at night in a place that is not well lit. Compared to my sister's car, she's got 30% all the way around.

Because a 30% film plus the tint of the glass from the factory is probably just about 28%
 
I'd considered tint when I first got my car, but there's a small problem with it here. It's illegal to tint forward of the B-pillar. Having the sides contrasting like that doesn't look too great imho, so I've just kept it untinted all around.

Edit: Haha! Couple tries, but you made it through... Woo! :D

yeah luckily this is all big flake powdery snow (lake effect stuff), the ice is all underneath the snow.. there's a couple inches of solid ice on the driveway, we've been trying to chip away at it all week and only got halfway done.

I have another vid but didn't get it off the cam yet.
