What kind of visual just to see that VIN matches or did they do a detailed visual ie raising hood etc..

LOL! No smog, no visual, no VIN matchup (unless insurance wants to do that themselves). Tint is county by county, but I think Florida law dictates that it can't be under 20% in back and 3% on the sides. Front tint goes to the arrow on the windshield.
My car:
KA-T, 10% tint.
I'm glad there's no BS inspections here.
Used to be.. in the '70s, but the governor had to wait 6 hours to get his car inspected, and soon after, passed a law not requiring inspections :)

tint is 35% on the front windows, and 20% on the sides and back
that's for passenger cars. suvs can go darker
