I assume it's peeling. If you have a warranty, take it back to the place that did it. If not, then I'd suggest taking it to a tint place to have it removed. It was under $50 for my friend and it was done right with no residue left behind.

use a single edge blade with a handle...i've done tint many times.... i have the best trick to doing it, and i HATE THAT PURPLE TINT....you can buy one of those blade things for like $5 at a hardware store.... they are also used to remove inspection stickers and city/county stickers

I think that's the same stuff they called for in the techs. Probably try some kind of adhesive remover compound as stated in the techs. and I'm glad I could help.

You need to be careful with the defroster in the rear window. You could cut through it with the razor blade; which of course would make it stop working. Be prepared for an extremely tedious job.

Careful you don't use too strong of an acid. If it's too strong, you'll be wishing that you'd only used a razor blade. It might just eat the rear window defrosting elements right off the glass.

well, good luck with that. I still say you go get it done. Spend $50 and have it done right and it's a lot easier, but whatever. Happy birthday...early. I'll post it tomorow too I'm sure.

HAHA good one Riz. Well I didnt feel compelled to tell you about my experience last night in that realm. But the show was great, had a lot of fun, saw a lot of people get f*cked up, saw a lot of people get so high they couldnt talk straight, haha . Good story though: There is this huge military looking guy, always at these shows, its his life. He was in the pit doing his 'thang and some 18 year old tool yelled out at him "You ******! Stop dancing queer!". In tern the military looking guy walked up to him, grabbed his throught layed him up against the wall (off his feet) and proceded to beat the living sh*t outta him. About a dozen others (no kidding, about 12 other people!) jumped in and just went at it on this kid. After they were done, the military guy picked him up, took off his own shirt, threw it on his face and said "I like to dance". WOAH. It gave a lot of us something to think about, say the wrong thing to the wrong person... And you wont be talking for a while. Turns out hes in the Wilmington Crew... You talk crap to one of these guys... Try and run, but chances are theyll catch you, haha. Peace foo's

Yea I get criticized constantly for being too energetic. I dont have ADD or ADHD so dont even start. I just see no point in growing up so damn soon. All of these people are trying to take away our youth, years and minutes that we will never get back. "GROW UP!"... F*** YOU! Haha, were not going to be kids forever... So why attempt to be something were not. (by WE, I mean kids) So I figure... Have fun, get taken to jail later. Haha. Peace foo's
