Hi,

Has anyone removed tint on their coupes? I just bought my G and it came tinted, I don't really like it.

 

It looks awesome...why dont you like it? Too dark?

 

Yeah, way too dark. At night time, I'm always afraid I might hit a pedestrian coming from the side because my side windows are soo dark. Also I think it's illegal to have front tints in california. =(

 

How ever could you not like it!? white with dark tint is classic. Now legal issues are a different story.

 

What some people just refuse to admit, going dark does hamper night time vision. I can understand the OP's concern. Just google it, I'm sure there are tons of DIY out there. I would be worried about the rear window though as to not damage the defrost wires.

 

Probably just a razor blade and something to clean the windows. Maybe call a tint shop and see what they recommend. I have my sides tinted too and it takes some getting used to but I think yours are darker than mine...looks like you might have 15% or even 5% on there which is real dark. I have 20% all the way around and it looks great...light shines in during the day but at night its fairly dark. I am used to it so I wouldn't say dangerous but if you are not comfortable..by all means get it off

 

heat gun and peel.

 

 

I still think it lookd great! I wanted a white coupe with tints

 

Heat gun. That's the most important part so the glue comes off nicely. Heat the vinyl and then pull it off the glass slowly. Use a razor lads to get the excess glue off.

 

Be careful on removing the rear. I bought a CPO that had tinted windows prior but the tint was removed. The rear defrost lines were malfunctioning - likely as a result of the tint removal. Fortunately the rear glass was replaced under warranty. However, if out of warranty, that rear glass is expensive brand new + install
