Especially when you see cop cars with limo dark tint on them. I had to pull my tint off car as it would not pass inspection. :mad Now I have to put it back on.

The shop I had mine tinted at wrote up the receipt showing 30% all the way around, which is legal in Florida. They actually put 20% on. They wouldn't go any darker than that for me. 20% is plenty dark for me. :cheers:

I just had mine done with 30% and I thought that was too dark. The next lightest was too light.

The next darkest was limo tint and that was really too dark.

The newer metal tints are not that dark and they block a high percentage of the heat. Titanium and nickel I guess are the best.

There was a website posted a while back with the legal limits fo all the States...can't find it right now.. :( ..I did, however write down Florida's...

Side windows = 28%
Rear window = 15%

Hope you had yours done to these specs at least... :thumbs:
