Is 15% even legal in Florida?

I think 20% is the legal limit in Florida. I have 31% according to the tint meter at the shop. I will be going darker as well.

I like your tint, it doesnt look to dark or to light. I might have to check that out.

Thanks. It actually isn't bad at all. The only reason I am looking to change is that I have scratches in my driver side tint and need to replace it.

30% front and 20% for all the others... It's ceramic tint if that makes a difference.

Yep, 15% on the back windows and 28% on the doors.

Here's mine for comparison. Before and after shots. Before, I had 35% in the front, 15% in the rears. After, I had 15% installed in the fronts. My original tint got scratched up due to the crappy felt, so I got moleskin and re-tinted, going darker.

Before:



After:
