If you have an SRT6 go new pump, maybe a heat exchanger, Hid kit is much easier to put it with lights off, Hid fog lights, The list could go on and on but you get the idea.
I used an 8% "Iron" colored tint from www.stickercity.com and it looks great. It's a pretty light tint and doesn't affect the light output. The kit was about a 1/2 in too wide all the way around but an xacto knife made short work of the issue. I did take out the foglamps to tint those and am re-installing them tonight. I'll take pictures after it's done. I also had a slight problem with air bubbles on the headlights but it was due to my lack of following directions. If you heat up the headlight and the tint before you apply them then the bubbles should be minimal and evaporate within a week. I had to pop mine with a pin but it is hardly noticeable. Anyway, I'd consider sticker city if anyone is shopping around. They also offer the film in yellow, blue, clear, and darker tints.

Here is the answer, right at the top of the Port Orange page (Note that I linked to the actual Statutes referenced below):
Headlight Covers - F.S. 316.220 states, "An object, material, or covering that alters the headlamp's light color may not be placed, displayed, installed, affixed, or applied over a headlamp." A similar statute also prohibits the use of such devices on taillamps, if the device alters the taillamp's visibility from 1,000 feet away (F.S. 316.221).
Clear Taillamp Covers - Under F.S. 316.241 above, it is illegal to alter the taillamp assembly by replacing the clear bulb and red lens with a red bulb and clear lens.

Also on the same page, window tint:
Side windows (F.S. 316.2953): A person shall not operate any motor vehicle on any public highway, road, or street on which vehicle the side wings and side windows on either side forward of or adjacent to the operator's seat are composed of, covered by, or treated with any sunscreening material or other product or covering which has the effect of making the window nontransparent or which would alter the window's color, increase its reflectivity, or reduce its light transmittance. A sunscreening material is authorized for such window if, when applied to and tested on the glass of such windows on the specific motor vehicle, the material has a total solar reflectance of visible light of not more than 25 percent as measured on the nonfilm side and a light transmittance of at least 28 percent in the visible light range. Violation of this section is a noncriminal traffic infraction, punishable as a nonmoving violation.
Windows behind the driver (F.S. 316.2954): Same general provisions as side windows, except that a sunscreening material is authorized for such window if, when applied to and tested on the glass of such windows on the specific motor vehicle, the material has a total solar reflectance of visible light of not more than 35 percent as measured on the nonfilm side and a light transmittance of at least 15 percent in the visible light range.
