Nooooooooooo! I wanted them to be different when I got them last year, now they're not! UGGGGG!!!

 

No do not use acetone or paint remover or laquer thinner on your tails. It can eat into the lense. Just wetsand it off with some 1000 grit sand paper and then 1500-2000 grit paper. Then polish the lenses with rubbing compound to bring the shine back.

 

Wow very sorry to hear about your tickets! Your taillights must be real dark when lit? I have mine with two deep coats of paint n clear, cops have been behind me many times n never flicked me. Maybe detroit just don't give a fxxk lol

 

i would take that cop to court and fight the ticket, show a p[resident for ticketing tinted windows.. i just recently got one for my side windows for $115 plus i have to remove it and bring it to the cop shop for proof..

a ticket for each window is definitly wrong, and just plain "****ish".. i would think that you could get the ticket reduced by any half awake judge.

... if you had only one tail light bulb blown, is the ticket half price?? sounds like a douchbag move to me.

 

Today I was taking the tints off of them with paint thinner. It worked but since it eats through the plastic, it left it all smudged. But I found a pair for $80 so ima go with that. But as for the tickets, I'm able to get them dropped with proof (pictures) that I took off all the tints. But they still charge me $10 for each ticket (i think. lol) And Ima check out the for sale section.

 

welcome to the forum , really sucks about all the tickets man hopefully you will be able to get out of paying with proof! My question is, how did you remove the adhesive from the windows the tint left behind? did you use a solvent of some type? let me know what you used, thanks man....

 

Any solvent based wax and grease remover or adhesive remover will take the adhesive off the glass and not harm the glass at all.

 

so paint thinner would ruin the lense no matter what? cant you wash it and not let it set on it?

 

1. yes. eats right through very quickly. i did this on the tail light of an eclipse i was pissed
2. no. i was quick about

 

The thing is, the thinner eats the plastic easier than it does the paint actually, so by the time you start to soften the paint and remove it, its already done its damage on the plastic. The general rule of thumb is to keep solvent of any kind away from plastic. It not only causes damage on the surface, but it absorbs into the pores of the plastic and can cause adhesion issues and solvent popping when painted over. Even solvent based cleaners are a no-no on plastics. Stick to water bases cleaners on them.
