    Window tinting

    Finally have a decent car and being in Florida i am looking at getting some window tint to cut down on the heat and glare. I understand the laws, the different percentages of VLT and that most people agree that getting the same percentage is best. But theres not a whole lot of info on the different shades/colors/mirroring and if having your front windows at a different percentage then your rear windows looks good.

    Looking for pictures, experiences, best brands and favorite layouts.

    My old truck had 20% on all the windows except the windshield. This pic is relevant.

    20% FTW. I never had tint on windows until I got this car, and I really enjoy it now. So much more privacy this way.

    ETA: driver and passenger side windows done, left and right rear windows, and rear window. Rear window and rear windows are slightly darker than the front. Front window no tint and no strip.

    If you have a decent car, you need to fishbowl it so everybody sees you...

    LOL, same here. I'll never go above 20% on the front. Usually 5% on the rears.

    Florida is 28% for the front windows. I'd do it 30% all the way around to avoid any hassle from LE, and because 2-tone tint is just ugly.
