You don't have a problem driving at night with the tint?
No, I'm used to it. You do have to be careful though. I open the windows when I back up, especially when I back into my garage since I came about a 1/2" from ripping off my driver side mirror once, lol. My wife flat out refuses to drive the car at night too.

A buddy of mine out here in cali had his truck double tinted limo and that thig was soooooo dam dark. His truck was silver too so it really stood out. He had AZ tags but for the year that he was living in cali with windows like that he never had a problem.

I had 15% on mine till last week, Got pulled over by a Arkansas State Trooper and told me it was too dark by his meter, and it can't be any darker than 25% here so had to put 35% on it, it's lighter, but I dont like it, O WELL!!!!

I think 20% is perfect.. looks good.. but cops can still see you inside the car in traffic. Not too bad at night too. I am just too used to tint.. I tint every car I have.

I have 20% and love it..Its not too dark and most cops don't bother with it ticketing 20% if you go darker than 20 like 15% or less your prolly in trouble

Live in Florida as well. Have lived in a few cities here and always drivingthroughout the state. Never have been pulled over for tint or issued a ticket for tint. Wouldn't they consider illegal window tint a secondary/non-moving violation and couldn't stop you based on the darkness of yourcars window tint? I know thats howthe seat-belt law works here.

I totally agree with the guys who said to roll down your windows. Nobody likes being pulled over, but a little bit of respect and courtesy towards the cop will get you a long way. Like they said, roll down your windows, turn your dome light on. I don't even reach for the glove box until the officer gets to the car so he can watch. That way he gets a visual on what you're digging out. Just a thought. You scratch their back, maybe they'll scratch yours in return...or at least not give you a ticket.

By the way, looking for pics of white mustangs with around 20-25% if anyone has any. Thanks.
