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.
