Welcome fellow Floridian. Where are you from in the state? The state as some decent groups throughout; Tampa, Orlando, NE, SE, our little group in the SW, and the panhandle. To find more locals, checkout http://sunshineminis.org/ register and attend this year's Mickey and MINI event at Disney.

Hello and welcome from another Floridian.
I second yetti's advice - check out sunshineminis.org to find your local club.
I hope you will attend Mickey & MINI 8!

I did 15% all around and the sunroof, no front strip. If you want legal then 30% up front and 20% in the rear will be very nice.

Welcome aboard from Largo/Belleair Bluffs! Tint is a "must" for Florida cars. I have 20% tint all around and 5%/limo tint on the sunroof. Tinting the sunroof was a great choice as I can drive with the roof tilted and windows down & be pretty comfortable, even during midday heat.

Drive 'er in good health!

Welcome to NAM and congrats on your new MINI. I'm sure it was well worth the four hour trip. Don't forget to post the pics soon.
