[Shotimes] Re: California Crackdown on Modified Cars

[Zach Leahy]

Razor blade, it's pretty easy.  I had to de-tint mine and ger it
redone at one point as the old stuff was bubbled badly.  you have to
take the door panels off.  use the razor blade and scrape off the
tint, and then use something like brakecleaner/carb cleaner/paint
thinner on a rag and wipe the glue residue off.  Not all theat bad of
a job really.
