removing tint?
just got a lousy window tint ticket and need to take it off so an officer can sign me off. ive talked to buddies where they used a basic razor to shave off the tint and just peeled it off as soon they got a deep cut. is this a safe procedure?
if no, how much would it cost to remove 2 windows with tint?

haha, i just got busted the other day too. He gave me 5 days to take it off or he would cite me. Just put down ur window a couple inches. Find a corner of the tint and peel it up with a razor blade and tear it off in 1 sheet.
The hard part is the glue.........gotta scrape it with the razor blade.......it will take a long time.

I got a ticket before, but the ticket was like 20 bux less than if I took the tint down on the front windows and had them re-done...so i left it and paid the 40 dollar ticket. the cops in my town don't care at all, some tell me my car looks good, but this little borough town nabs people for EVERYTHING. everybody hates that town. by the way...sorry man

I have not tried this myself, but I have a buddy that worked at a custom shop and said thats what they do. Let me know if anyone tries it to see if it really works.

there's probably an easier way. Check a tint forum.
