Tint in Tampa?
Well for some reason I moved to the Tampa area, and I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations on tint shops.
Also, what's the law on tint in Florida? Everything I read online sounds pretty conservative, but I see cars all the live long day with all five windows with 5%

Depends on the weather
I don't think many people abide by any states tint laws. I have 5% all around and 40% on the windshield...no one bothers me. They will most likely only cite you if you get pulled over for something else such as speeding or they just really want to pull you over to harass you about it.
I was behind a cop today and he kept looking in his rear view mirror - he couldnt see through my windshield but he just went on his merry way.

In California I was pulled over for having 50% on my front windows twice. Not too long after you get used to rolling down your front windows whenever you see a police car, regardless of weather.
Hopefully florida is different...

One good thing I have noticed about having a panoramic roof is that you can open it and it lets a heck of a lot of light in so the windows won't look as dark.
Closed with the sunshades up in the rear, impossible to see in. I guess I've been lucky so far.

5% on white with the pano roof is a thing of beauty!
That being said, mine is basic black, but still a good look (and likely necessary to keep me from melting in this heat.
So, the decision has been made, does anyone living in the Tampa area have any recommended shops?
