Usually you can get it started with a razor in a bare spot and pull it off easily. I would let the tint shop do it personally, the glue is a bitch.

I'll contact tronix here in manahawkin or barnegat and have them tackle it...better to be safe then try to do it and ruin the back windshield.

I used to work for a car dealership that made us pull the tint off each time a car came in, I forget the spray we uesd but we used black trash bags and heat guns to pull it off, It was a long and horrible process, Save yourself time and headache and let the tint shop do it.

had a spare set of rear marker lights lying around so spent a little time doing this today

just waiting for paint to dry to pull bowtie off.

Man I want those wheels :lol:

Not really feeling the corner mods. It's your car and you obviously like the look but I would at least consider sanding the raised letters and repainting it the way you have it. What kind of masking did you use as it looks like it bled a bit.

As soon as i can sell some of the parts sitting in my garage ie. Lt1 ss air box, maf sensor, 2x 285/35/18 tires, stock valve covers, polished valve covers, stock fuel pump, stock springs.... so i can buy a set of tires for the Z06 wheels i have they will be for sale.

I did it to mine before I put some VHT on them. Def makes a difference.

What grit paper did you use?

Umm maybe 400 and worked my way up to 1500/2000.

I think I did my tails with 1000-2000 wet sanding.

You do NOT want a 2000 grit finish to apply primer to.

400-600 grit at most. You need some texture for the primer/paint to adhere.

1500-2000+ grit is basically for final wet sanding of the clear coat before polishing.

Is that car sebring silver or pewter? Its hard to tell in pics.
