Im from daytona and I have 5% on my black 06 f350 crewcab.... its been on there for 2 years... no problems... not with the cops anyways. Its kinda hard to see out of at night. I have 15% on my LS all around... obviously no problems there.

I would go 15% man. 5% is going to be hard to see through at night.

But the legal limit is 35%
Cops won't pull you over just for the tint but they will give you a ticket for it after another traffic stop.

I was worried about 5 being impossible to see out of at night, 15 sounds like a decent level between legal and omgI-cant-see-anything, thank you all for the help!

This is my LS with 15% on the sides, and 25% in the back window and a 20% strip on the windshield ...it is dark, but you can still see out of the windows at night at least

From what I've been told every time I got my windows tinted, is that 20% on the front two windows is the lowest legal tint and you can go as dark as you want in the back windows.
