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.
Nice ^
If you have a decent car, you need to fishbowl it so everybody sees you…
Where are you in FL?
This cannot be said enough.
LOL, same here. I’ll never go above 20% on the front. Usually 5% on the rears.

That’s my kind of car 
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.
I wouldn’t go crazy dark with it, and I do not care fore the strips across the top of the windshield that’s what sunglasses are for.
Yes! do them all the same.
Yeah once I get my new truck in a week or two I’m just gonna do 50% on the front windows and leave the back stock. Think it’s around 35% but not sure.
Really dark tint gets old after a while, especially when driving at night.
Thats what most people seem to agree on.
Any opinions on different colors or mirror styles or is plain black the best?
Any brands to stay away from?
For God’s sake plain black.
I need to really up my stipilling skills…
OK Ok just curious lol

I went with this film. It is (I selectived Limo) dark and may interfere with AM radio frequencies but it is extremely durable and cooled down the interior significantly.
My cost for film and labor was $220.00 (5 windows Sedan). Not cheap but holds-up really well.

Seriously though, the mirror tint fades quickly and develops a yellowish tinge.
