mustangjeff1997 · March 21st, 2009, 08:40 PM

lol, but it would remove the tint...

Dansby · March 21st, 2009, 08:42 PM

It's an adhesive, right? Try to remove it like you would any other adhesive. Heat gun (or blow dryer) and a razor blade, along with some goo gone in there somewhere.

ZoomZoomMFer · March 21st, 2009, 08:42 PM

thats true....

anyone else?

mustangjeff1997 · March 21st, 2009, 08:44 PM

It's spray-on right?

ZoomZoomMFer · March 21st, 2009, 08:44 PM

mustangjeff1997 · March 21st, 2009, 08:47 PM

is it static cling? most ebay ones are so those you can just peel off.

weems · March 21st, 2009, 11:26 PM

Blow dryer and wd-40 or adhesive remover.

graystang01 · March 22nd, 2009, 01:41 AM

let a beaver chew the tint off

ZoomZoomMFer · March 24th, 2009, 02:32 PM

ok i got the tint off... it was pretty easy, just peeled off...

but is the tail tint supposed to be like a vinyl? when i was peeling it off, it left no residue on the lights and i noticed that its pretty thick, not like tint at all..

yes taillight tint is a transparent vinyl, not like window tint
