very dark...... illegal..... probably YES......... at night.... cops probably woouldnt notice....
BUT during the day dark tint will not let much light if any thru....
main thing that makes them illegal is.... you MUST HAVE REAR REFLECTORS...... and with tinting over them you eliminate the reflectors inside the taillights......
thats why i sugest keeping some clear and doing some colored LEDs for brake lights!!!!

Florida has nice laws when it comes to window tint but you might be pushing it with those. That seems more like black than dark to me.
Did you use the Film type covers or is that nightshade?
You may want to uncover least the clear reverse portion to get some reflector area back.
Atleast that how i been planning to do mine, couple coats of night shade with reverse light exposed.
