Yo man, I'm 17 in Broward COunty, South Florida. Legal is 30% in front and anything for the back. I got 20% all around ecxept for windshield. I got an 03 ANthracite wit charcoal tint. Go for 20%, and if you get pulled over, roll down your window.

FL legal limit is 28% for the front windows, & 15% for the rear.
Oh no?
Lets try this....
Last year mothers day. I driving down the turnpike in West palm heading north. I pass the first gas station just after the toll plaza. State trooper sitting in the grass. I pass him in the left lane, with a car behind me, & a car to the right of me. We are all doing 70mph, the speed limit. My detector is dead quiet so I know he didn't have radar on. About a mile up the road, I see this trooper in my lane behind me. I pull into the right lane. He follows, turns on his lights & pulls me over. My window is down, he comes out of the car with the tint meter, tells me to raise the window a little, & reads the tint, it's 14%. He then proceds to tell me the limit is 28%, asks me where I got it done. I said I bought the car like that. He then writes me a $45 ticket. It's a non moving volation too. I was like WTF!
Only tint ticket I ever got, & I do alot of driving all over the country including unfriendly tint places like NJ/NYC. That was in my previous car, I had 15% all around. My CL-S also has 15%.
Yo, here in South Fl, cops wont pull you over for just your tint.

I'm surprised, I live in Coral Springs and drive around Broward and Dade and Boca all the time. My friends dad is a cop and told me that cops won't usually bother for tint unless they really need to give one.

hey Ken, I live in Palm Beach County as well in PBG and I went to Tint King on Okeechobee to ask what the legal tint was. They told me llegaly you can tint 28% of some of the windshield just the top part of it and that the front windows were 28% legal tint and that the rear windows are 15%. Just thought I should let you know that.

Tint in Palm Beach County
Hey Renegade, I'm gonna be awful pissed off if the cops pull me over for too dark of a tint. The guy at City Tint in Boca said 20% was legal. I figured since he was selling the tint he knew what he was talking about.

I don't think you can remove the factory strip in the windshield.
Its in the glass, no
