I don't think Florida has inspection that I know of and I have been pulled over before for the tint but I have been lucky.
I see. I used to get crap from the inspectors all the time when I had 20% (illegal in TX) on my old car. Plus I drive past too many LEOs everyday. The less reasons I give them to pull me over, the better. Got tired of getting pulled over for no front plate and finally threw the damn thing on.
F-Sport has black interior so keeping it cooler in the summer can't hurt. Secondary is looks but opted to keep it legal as I don't need to give them a reason to stop me or peel it off for legal resale.
The contrast of tint to to USB is good. Now to ditch the chrome trim!

+1. Keeps the heat down, especially in the summers. Would highly recommend a good ceramic tint for the most heat rejection (they also don't shift colors like dyed tints do). Personally, not a fan of the fishbowl look so I tint all my cars. My IS is legal though, would be nice if Louisiana would drop the front windows a few percent though.
Light tint front windshield, limo for 2 front windows, double limo all around the back.
Keep heat out, car looks great, MAINLY i don't want any body look inside my car.
As for COPS, i have no problem with them, been driving side by side, head up, in front of them or following them with demon eyes on
Don't do anything unusual, you will be fine (CA- Orange county area)
I did 20% all the way around besides the windshield.
I tint every car I own. It cuts down on sun glare. Stops people from looking in and it looks great with silver. I think 35% is legal in my state. I would like to do the windshield but we have to get inspected every year and it would never pass. It can be a little hard to see at night in a dark area but it’s worth it.
Playing with fire with those tint percentages in Illinois. Back when I lived there, Chicago police weren't bad about it, but the suburb police would bust out the tint meter and ticket you on the spot if you were over the allowed percent. It's either 35% all around, or don't tint your front windows at all and you can have any tint percentage on the rear and back window.
Tint price is going to vary no matter what due to the installer and the quality of the tint. Cheapest tint? Maybe 100-150. Quality ceramic? 200+.
