It depends if you're going for looks or privacy. I've seen some completely limo tinted MM F's, and while they do look good, it's illegal here in CA to have tints beyond 70% in the fronts. I believe FL is a bit more lenient in the percentages, but I'm not completely sure. For a good amount of heat rejection and privacy without calling too much attention to the tints, I'd go 35% all around. But first check the state laws because sometimes it's not worth it to have darker tints if it means getting a ticket. Best of luck though!

I bought my car in the NE, registered it in Oregon, and live in KS so that helps to blur the lines of tint laws,.. So I went with 10% all around, with WeatherTech visors. No matter what, any amount of tint will look good! IMO

I have Formula 1 Pinnacle 30 tint all the way around and I love it. It's not too dark and the heat rejection properties are awesome!

My car had 30% all around and no one would give me a sticker here in MA. I got one after peeling it off the front windows. I wasn't to happy about it.
I'm going to put 35% back on them. Hopefully it looks close enough to the back windows to not stand out.
If my car didnt come tinted I would go legal. I think it's tough in dark driveways or roads with no light at night with dark tint.

RCB, you didn't pass inspection in MA due to tints???

Here's a pic for your reference Mrd916... leftmost F is 35%, middle is 20%, and rightmost is no tint. Mine is 20%. I got ceramic 3M tint and it cost me a grip but is well worth it. After a year there are no bubbles and is holding up great. it preserves the leather and keeps the car cooler (it's as if your car is wearing sunglasses all the time). The best part is that even after tints, the visibility out of the car is not hindered that much.

Yep, just for the tint and all they cared about where the front two windows.

That's harsh! I just got mine inspected in NY and they didn't give me trouble for tints. I just took it to a small shop and all he did was ask me to lower all my windows and keep the car running, that's all.

But to the OP, I'd check to see if tints will void inspection your state, because that would be a hassle to remove it and put it back every year...
