To tint or not to tint, that is the question...
I've got 20% on the sides and 10 or 15% for the rear. 28% is allowed (though there's only 20% and 35% tint) for the front and 15% for the side and rear. I went with the darkest in the rear cause of not having anything to hide what's in the back.
There's no inspections for FL and I've never had anyone I know busted for too dark of a tint. Keep in mind that you cannot be pulled over for illegal tint since it is a non-moving violation, you must be pulled over for something else (i.e speeding) in order for the cops to tag the "tint" on the infractions as well. So, be sure all your lights are working and you're not doing dumb stuff and you shouldn't have much to worry about it.

A) I don't feel like getting pulled over the way I used to with my 20%'s.
B) I want a natural / Dealership look - nothing too hardcore.
It might be too late to cancel and get 50%'s, do share your thoughts.
I'm not afraid to admit, i was actually muscled into the tints. I dropped my car off to get a dent popped out, and before I knew it, this guy was talking about tints, and I pretty much fell for his sales trap. lol.

Funny I took my car in to get the Kuda PDA mount on my car, and the guy was trying to sell a tint job. I told him I would only consider 50%, but he doesn't carry 50%. So I'm the one who got away.
Mine came tinted from the dealer, the three rears, I promptly went out and had the sides done. Cause I to am a man of misery. Oh I mean mystery. Yea that's it...
I live in the not too Hot mid atlantic states, so tinting for heat resistance is not necessary. I think there is enough challenges with good views (i'm not complaining) in this car that tinting would simply make things worse. I like it just the way it is.

I wouldn't mind tinting my 3 windows on the SRT6 (driver, passenger, rear). MI has a strange tint law though. Apparently all but the top 4" of your the side windows can be tinted:

Additionally, here in South Florida, it can get pretty hot. You really need as much tint as the law allows, and where the law allows, to keep the interior as cool as possible. I'm at the legal limits all the way around.
Tinted my '06 Limited Coupe on Saturday.
40% on the windshield / 20% on the other five windows.
Mafia Style!
More Bling on order. Standby.

Anyone know what the percentage is from the factory? I know they all cars are tinted slightly before they hit the dealerships but, I can't seem to figure out what it is.
5% tint all the way around...just cause i don't like people seeing in my car unless i want them to.

My first response was no way the I saw 04Fire's last night. he got a 35% tint put on and it looks very nice. So I'd say do it, just make sure you are legal. the cops pulled over one of my sons friends and presented him with a razor blade and told him to start scraping.

30% is the limit in Indiana, so the shops put on 35% to allow for the very minimal tint from the factory. They say it ends up being 30%. I'm having mine done Saturday.
