What are you a defense attorney?

Yep...I'd like to break into a different area of law up north, but I grew up in this type. Depending on your lifestyle, I'd look into Las olas area for a nice condo in FTL, or City walk in WPB. I like WPB area more, esp. since the courthouse has direct east ocean views.

You must be able to find CHEAP housing down here to buy. Skip the big land; mowing the lawn every week in the summer is a pain. I agree with the 3 car garage which can be found in newer developments (read: everywhere down here).

I want to get a 70% or higher tint for the front windshield, and do either 40% all around for 50% all around. I considered keeping the back window tint on my car, and doing 50% on my front windows, but I never like the look of that. Also, will I fail inspections with "tint" on my car in NY or NJ? Also, anything I need to do to prep my car for the drive up besides expect many rock chips and put on some Conti DWS tires? Thanks all I hope to be up there soon and maybe make it to a meet or two.
Police can be a pain around NY area, especially if you get caught driving fast, blowing red lights, no seatbelt. If they get you, they will most likely bust your chops for dark tints. I have 35% all around (no windshield) with stone interrior, passed by many cops didnt even care.

As far as inspection, I know people with super dark tints all around had no issues. An extra $20 goes a long way.

Do you plan on re-registering your car? Because if I were you I'd keep my Florida regi and plates and they'll leave you alone

I know that they changed the NJ Inspection process to cut costs. NJ only inspects your emissions now. If you have broken taillights, tint, etc. you will not fail. I had a friend that had tint on the front windows and just got his car inspected with no problems.

They'll pass you with front tints, just not with windshield tint.

Are you sure about that? I'm from NY, but my good friend lives in NJ and he just had to peel the tint off his front windows to pass inspection. This was just two or three months ago.

In NJ, new cars don't have to be inspected for the first 4 years, but after that they get inspected every 2 years. So he's forced to peel his tint and reapply it every other year...

In NY, yes...in NJ, no.

Tint on the front side windows will always cause a failure in NJ state inspections. Unless they just recently changed the way they do inspections.

this was recently changed. you will pass inspection if you have tints on the front sides... not sure about the windshield.

i think they even made it that police cannot pull you over simply for tints... but can give you a ticket for them if they pull you over for say... a busted tail light or speeding.

nj stopped inspecting cars for anything but emissions. so you only have to worry about tickets.
NJ will issue you tickets left & right for front tint.
windshields can also get you towed- but thats if your a complete jerk to the officer.
