i technically live in tampa, but i am on the corner of causway and falkenburg... if you havent been to brandon in a while, there is a parallel town on causway, it has basically everything that is on 60, just newer. i thought FL didnt have tint laws a while back, i dont know. i only moved here a few months ago. i had my tint done by a shop on dale mabry.

Yep, yep...I left in early 2003, when I seperated from the military.....I remember those street names! I lived right around the corner from there off of Providence Lakes rd in the Providence Lakes sub division. I use to take Causeway to Falkenberg to hop on the Crosstown to get to Macdill. Don't miss that traffic..took an hr+ on most days to get down to Macdill. I went back down there a few years ago.....has grown, thats for sure.....that area you are talking about they were just developing before we left, and now it looks like the Cross Town dumps you out by the mall. The place that tinted my windows was just past Pep Boys on 60...on the corner at a stop light, on a side road on that same side of 60....was a car audio shop. At the time they tinted all of the Hillsboro County sheriff's cars

i know the pep boys... thats where i buy my car cleaning stuff!

i work at macdill. fortunately i work weird hours so i spend about 15 mins driving to work from brandon... the crosstown does dump out at the mall now. i actually exit the 301 exit or falkenburg exit to get back to my apartment

During the day the sun shines through the windshield and makes my front 2 windows look like 20% and you can see through them... I like my privacy.

i guess you have to weigh your privacy factor with nighttime safety factor. are you a nose picker?

8-5 for me...traffic sucked both directions. Was horrible getting on the base after 9-11. I'd be sitting in stopped traffic on Bay Shore until lunch time on some days. I'd just pull in at Chubby's for lunch.....mmmmm I miss that place!

yeah, i usually take the expressway to dale mabry. i have sat in 45 min traffic during normal hours 6:30-9ish

now we have hijacked this thread...

35% windshield for the front will be to dark. If your going F1 Pinnacle series in the windshield go 50% because it's the lightest shade they have and i see fine with it at night.

tint on the windshield and 2 front windows is illegal in CA but i haven't had any problems yet *knocks on wood* maybe because OC cops are a little more lenient, if i was in LA that might be a different story.

I was on the fence between 50% (OH legal limit) and 35%. I broke the law and went with 35%. I think it's plenty dark enough, especially on a black car. If your car has black interior, it will look even darker. I too went with Pinnacle, but my price was much higher.
