Its very common here in Texas. My F-150 has 5% on the rears and 30% or whatever was legal on the fronts. Looks fine to me, I'm surprised there are so many opposed...

For Florida I believe it's like the tint must allow more than 28% of light in through the front windows and more than 15% through the rear windows. Tinted windows are a good thing because believe it or not they can hold your glass together if it ever shatters. I went with 15% all around and I live in South Florida and have not gotten anything said to me. I usually drive with my windows down but I drive with them up quite often.

I had 5% all the way around. Changed to 20% after i got a ticket. But should have stuck with the 5 because, 20 doesnt make a difference unless sunlight is coming from the front then its a little bit lighter. Just go 5% on all 5.

In my opinion, tint should ALWAYS be the same %. I say go 20% all around. Even if it's illegal in your state, what are the chances of getting a ticket? (unless your in NJ!)
from NJ! LOL Thats why I gave up on tint 20 years ago!

In Florida you're allowed 20% on the rear and rear sides and 35% on front side windows. I've lived here all my driving life and have always had at least 20% all around on all my cars and have never once had a problem, even when I got my ticket for doing 90 in a 45!

I think they shouyld be the same % also.
Chris- what are the tint laws in florida

Mine turned out great. I have 5% on the back and quarter windows and either 20 or 25% on the front 2.

Ok so why would you go illegal if you are not going to go ILLEGAL!! If you get pulled over they can still right you a ticket......dude go big or go home!!! It's like wasting your money so if you have enough to go around im pretty sure we could all use a lil I take cash, check, money order.......

This was my thinking as well but the fact is that cops will mostly turn their heads to 35% where as the 20% is where they would take notice to it. My tinter told me that he has maybe one person a year return with a ticket for 35 while he gets a couple a week for 20. (milwaukee area). I would rather not have the headaches of getting new tint after I just spent all the money to do it in the first place.
