Its illegal here too. But I've never had any issues with this truck. I had a white truck with even darker tint and I did get pulled over for that. But told them it was because my eyes were sensitive, I don't have a special letter from the eye doc though. They let me off.

For the 55.00 I paid to get it done, its worth the risk IMO.

You're in Florida, right? I thought there was some tint allowed, legally.

Here in Ohio legal tinting is 50% on the fronts, anything on the back sides and rear. I ended up staying legal, doing 50% on the front and 15% on the back and side rears. I wish the 50 were a bit darker but it I don't need a reason to have the cops pull me over, even though I have a get out of jail free card (firefighter) I don't want to give them any reason to.

Looks like you got that great 32% then. I have 15% limo all rear and 20% up front and 5% across the windshield but I need to redo the front starting to fade. I use to have 3% limo up front but 4 tickets later and 3 attempts by some A**holes trying to break in decided to take it off.
