Default decisions about tinting my windows

I had my windows tinted b-4 in Florida. I moved to MD and had to pull off film. Now back in Florida and looking to re-apply. Legal in FL is 35%. Will limo tint on the back window look bad with 20% on the drivers/passengers window? Or should I just take the chance with the unlimited number of times I could get the $30.00 ticket and do the limo tint on the entire car? Please advise.

if you really HAVE to use tint, go 20 on the back and rear quarters and 35 on your driver/pass. sides.

That's the legal limit in FL. I've always had illegal tint and have never had a problem. but I find 5% to be a bit rediculous now. I've got 15% all around and it's perfect, and no cop has ever said anything. It's a must here in teh FL heat.

i'd roll the tint as light as possible. it just makes things harder to see at night. tint imo

i'd go with a lighter mirror tint, it keeps people from seeing in, but is still good at night

I have limo all the way around and i can see fine at night. It really doesnt affect my night driving. Ive heard people say opposite, but for me its no problem. In az. its illegal to have limo on the sides but ive been next to cops at stoplights and ive never had a problem.

Ive had limo tint for 4 years, never been caught w/it.........until last week. I could see fine at night, except when there were no lights around

I am getting it re-tinted what is legal in Fl, but a nice film. So it'll be legal, but you will only be able to see shadows of people in my car
