Tint off...... :(
yeap....i finally took off the tint. It came off very easy, just heated it up.....used a razor to get the edge up and peeled it off. the thing that took the longest was getting the adhesive off. But we just kept putting adhesive remover on a towel, wiping it on one spot, then scraped it off with the razor. Anyways....it was a very sad day..... boring stock look FTL

put your big girl panties on Billy, the record high in Albany is like 100, that's barely hot enough for the tint to be effective anyway.
Plus, I don't see how you can consider tint a mod, that's like putting sunglasses on and saying you had your eyes done

They may still nail you for the rear...hopefully not but if so it is going to be a royal pain in the ass to get that off.

Mine is 15% all around with a 5% 7" eyebrow. I get pulled over about once every 3 months. But usually most cops around here are pretty chill about it. They were NOT happy when I had the front windshield tinted.

Wrong. All sides must be 70%. Rear window can be whatever you want it to be. Billy wouldn't have had to strip the rear window tint if it could be limo'ed |

what are you talking about?
Did i ever say tint was a "mod".....even though it is,
mod⋅i⋅fi⋅ca⋅tion
1. an act or instance of modifying. 2. the state of being modified; partial alteration.
and i didnt get tint so it could be effective in the sun, even though that is one other good thing about it. I got it because i have a maroon car and tint looks really good on dark colors. if i had a white car i would leave the windows stock, cause i like that look better.
For those of you who havent gotten in trouble yet.....WATCH OUT FOR THE TROOPERS. Everyone that i know who has gotten a ticket for tint was from a trooper. So if you see one staring in your direction (and you see them before you pass them), roll down your window
