I take it the laws about tint are laid back in florida?

not only that but it's 15% all the way around, which is also technically illegal

I think Fl is 15% on the back, 7% on the sides, and I'm not sure about the regulations for the front window.

but I haven't got hassled about them ever; maybe cause my windows are down most of the time anyway

one of the benefits of living on the coast in Florida

oh my bad, I was throwing out an "I think" guess, and I forgot tint goes darker with the lower number, I'm an idiot...

might be better just to look the laws up yourself

I was going to suggest that, but wasn't sure how easy it is to get that part. I suppose it's easier to find than most things.

If you do switch, I know that there are 2 extra cuts in the headliner, I think they're shown in the pics.

The more I think about it, having them mounted in the mirror might be better if it can be pulled off. They wouldn't need to be angled.
