Yeah, those tips were welded on by the previous owner, a MAC catback is coming soon! The thing with tire wet is that dirt sticks to it easily, and I live on dirt roads, so unless it's sitting in the drive way or at a car show there's no point for it, see what I'm sayin? It needs some small visual things, I need to take out the shatty rear (purple) window tint, and get a catback (performance and visual reasons). If anyone has any tips for removing a cheapo depot window tint please tell me! I don't feel like paying to have it professionally removed. Also, how much does it cost to have a full black window tint done?

just peel/scrape it off. they make sticker removers for windshields...

if there is any glue left on it use lighter fluid and a rag to rub it off.

The only thing is, is that I do not want to damage my rear window defrosters by scraping off the covering or possibly damaging the wire. Well I really shouldn't even worry about it, only 3 of the strips work lol. Maybe I'll do that this weekend when the girlfriend is here.

How long is the install, I only know how long it takes to take them out! lol, do you have to re-aim them? I, might just do that, swap over the headlights that are onto the hatch to the vert and get some new headlights for the hatch. What should I go with, just clears?
