Anybody know if there is a way to take the tint out of the windows of your car? I just got a ticket for having my front windows tinted, but it's a fix-it ticket. So if i get the tint out, I won't have to pay the ticket. Or if somebody knows a place I can get it off for cheap, it would be appreciated.

Pull off the tint itself.
Use a razor blade to remove the tint if it doesn't peel.
Scrape the glue off by using a fresh razor blade and wet it with window cleaner aka Windex. You'll pay the same amount for removal as you will for tint itself when you could do it on your own for about 6 dollars.

first off, make sure you heat the tint....be it hair dryer or whatever....makes it easier to peal....its basically like removin a decal on ya whip.....a flat razor should work, the kind you cut boxes, cut coke, or whatever

That sucks...California sucks for that shit.

I got...I think it's 10% (???) all around. I have a Navigator, and it came tinted, except for the front windows. Had a friend of mine do it...

I never had to take any off, because it's not illegal here, but the ideas sound good, especially that ''do it yourself'' page.

Good luck.

I'd rather just pay the ticket then having the tint taken off. unless it's like limo tine or sumthin, the chances of you getting busted for that twice are pretty slim. that's a pussy law to enforce.
