Never on when anyone from CRSX is
I will get it eventually, don't worry. But I'm in the process of possibly getting another car so I can't spend any money right now.

Left work yesterday, got about a mile down the road (I live less than 3 miles from work), passed a cop driving the opposite way from me, then suddenly whip it around, so I knew I was in for it.....
I actually completely forgot to get my car inspected... in December.
He also got me for tint but gave me a fix-it. I'll probably end up pulling the tint, then re-tinting when the weather gets nicer. Boo.

Righttt. But I just called Ziebart. They work like car salesmen, they start off with high prices, but they're very personable and easy to talk to, and you can reason with them. He offered me $60 to remove the tint, then $60 to have them re-tinted after I get the ticket signed off
I talked him down to $20 per window to remove, $25 per window to re-tint... so $90 total rather than $120. Saved 25% lol

Nope lol. I had belts showing and my car was a death trap.
Have you ever tried to remove tint yourself? It's not too bad.Righttt. But I just called Ziebart.

Except the back window and the defroster lines.

Cost me less than $20 on amazon. Well worth it for the time saved. Plus razor blades are a no no for defroster lines.
I had no mess to clean other than the crumpled up old tint and the water.

Yup, I removed the tint on the Civic last summer. Not doing it in sub zero temps though. As of right now, it's 5 degrees (feels like is -13). It was -6 feels like -30 when I woke up this morning haha. I don't have a garage either, so I don't mind paying a little $ to retain my limbs.
Noted for if I ever do it in the future. I too did the razor blade and windex thing... it wasn't bad once I started going really slow, but my first try took me over an hour for one window to get it fully cleaned.
I have a heat gun now though, so I'm sure that will work just as fine too.
Yeah, I've been real busy today. Only guy doing IT support for all 20 offices that we have across the Americas. On top of that a SANS disk failed this morning, and a Windows update keeps breaking one of our quoting programs ... no quotes = no customers = no bonus = unhappy employees lol. Less than 30 minutes to go!
We got shut down because theres supposed to be a big storm coming in. Its weird cuz we work in all conditions. I dont think ive ever been told to stay home because of weather but ill take it. Night shift sucks lol

I used the heat gun method for years. Never again. I saw one of the guys using a steamer one day and I was amazed. Takes a second to get it doing it's thing, but when the tint starts letting go it falls off like melting butter and there is no mess as long as you don't pull the tint too hard. Even if you do, you take a rag and wipe the sticky stuff when the steam is still doing it's job and it comes off with the rest of the water.
What I like is the steam cleans everything too. I used it to clean the door panels and the window after I was done. The worst part was being in the car with all the steam doing the back window. Got kinda hot back there but it was fast enough that it wasn't too bad.
Hit the gym as early as I could and came straight back this time
Cleared & reformatted SD cards
