I only go to places where they use 1 piece. This car had a two piece on before and it drove me nuts because you could see it.

ok removing tint is a little bit of a pain in the *** but no the end of the world.

DO not use a razor blade to scrape the rear window. what you want to do is peel the tint itself off. use your nails to get it started and then peel slowly. if it comes off in one sheet you are money. if it does not you are in for a long day.

either way you have to get the actual film off of the vehicle, after doing so the entire rear window will be covered in glue. at this point you want to go out and buy Ammonia straight. soak the rear window in ammonia and then place a plastic bag over the rear window(covering the glue) to really let the ammonia work its magic. pull the bag off and wipe the glue away. if some parts dry upspay them again and continue wiping.

you may have to repeat the process a couple of time but it is safe on interior and everything.

sorry, missed this before. All of the pictures posted are in my housing development which is off of 60 and Mulrennan (Somerset), except for the picture with the Prostars. That one was taken at my work. (Progressive off of 301 and Falkenburg)

Where do you live at?

I hear ya. My dad lives in MO right now. I lived there for a while myself. Not the biggest fan of FL, but don't mind the year round racing.
