    I did mine a few weeks back, super easy.... go get a wall paper remover to make it a bit easier, one w/ the razor blade egde, I bought a 5 inch one, lots of leverage. Just start w/ a regular razor blade on one corner and pull off, it might come off in two layers. Then to remove the sticky stuff just use your favorite sticky remover, I actually tryed Veg oil, seems to work pretty good, ammonia and covering w/ plastic in the sun works nice too.

    get a ticket for it and you have to here in SoCal if the ticket is marked non-correctable. This is for the front windows only though.

    Do you have a need for speed? Then drive it like you stole it!

    my brother got a ticket once and didnt take his tint out, just paid the fine. they are not fix it tickets anymore. just pay the fine and dont take it out. however if you get pulled over for it again the fine i believe almost doubles. so be carefull. i want to tint my car very very mildly. just enough to push out sunlight

    You better heat it up with something. Heat guns are the best.

    I got 32% all around, been pulled over by the cops 5 times for speeding last year (got 3 tickets) and I drove next to one yesterday. I don't know about other states, but in Cali, as long as the tint doesn't hinder their view of the driver, they won't pull you over. Don't be a Jack*ss when they do pull you over, and you should have no problems.

    Cops aren't that dumb! What happens when you get pulled over in the rain or in winter?
