5% would probably be hard to drive at night in.

The vietnamese guy that's tinted my last 7 cars over 14 years tells me this tint he's been using is 2%, but I can't find 2% tint anywhere online, so I'm guessing its 5%. Regardless, here in Fla its perfect because it keeps most of the sun out and provides privacy as well. It's a bit hard to negotiate tight spots without rolling your windows down though.

Only Jimmy "Sniff" gets pulled for illegal tint in Jacksonville.

I've got 5% all around too, Florida has a medical exemption certificate for dark tint, you can even tint the front window.

LMAO at the race reference..not just any guy, but a Vietnamese guy My tint guy is a brutha

j/k, but back on topic..2%..that is just crazy!! 5% is nice but I like 5% on the very back window. I would of done 15% doors and 5% rear, but GA GSP don't like dat
