Make sure you don't get more then a 25% reflective tint if you go that route...anything higher is illegal in Florida.
YES!I still visit GenVibe periodically. I have not forgotten about my "original" family over here!

I haven't decided anything yet, I don't even know if it would look good.

I used 20%. Its dark enough so noone can see in. I bought the tint at Walmart and did it myself. The door panels remove easily to allow proper installation. I used bronze color. Looks very nice. Not mirrored.

In Florida, this percentage refers to percentage of visible light allowed in through the combination of film and the window. Windshield Non-reflective tint is allowed along the top of the windshield above the manufacturer's AS-1 line. Front Side Windows Must allow more than 28% of light in. Back Side Windows Must allow more than 15% of light in. Rear Window Must allow more than 15% of light in. HOW REFLECTIVE CAN THE TINT BE IN FLORIDA?Similar to sunglass lenses, some tinting film contain metallic elements that help in reflecting incoming light and reducing the glare and heat generated by visible light. Front Side Windows Must not be more than 25% reflective. Back Side Windows Must not be more than 25% reflective. OTHER FLORIDA RULES AND REGULATIONS Restricted Colors No colors of tint are explicitly banned. Side Mirrors Dual side mirrors are required if back window is tinted. Certificate Requirements Manufacturers of film do NOT need to certify the film they sell in the state. Sticker Requirements The sticker to identify legal tinting is required on the inside of the driver’s side doorjamb. Medical Exemption State allows medical exemptions for special tint. For more details about the specific terms of the exemption, consult your state law.
