Few changes to the truck....

[Z71_Silvy]

ive figured out a process that works fairly well, and guess what ive got some pics!

Explain.

I want to remove mine as one side is shiny and the other side is dull.

I'm not digging the 5+ hours though...and my truck is bigger...

well its gonna be a pain in the ass ill tell you now. just a heads up before you start, but the best way is to get a buddy and a heat gun and/or MAP torch ( i know torch! but it worked and didnt burn anything if you had it on low) and heat it up. then get a razor scrapper or something similar and peel up a corner. grab that corner with some big ass channel locks, vise grips, whatever you have and pull the shit out of it! it helps if your friend heats it as you peel it off, like he heats right where you just pulled it off from. after you get it off, if its like mine was, it will have this foam/ adhesive left behind. from there i got adhesive remover and sprayed it down good and then i hit it with some WD-40. then you just kind of rub it off with a good rag but it takes a long ass time to rub it off! dont try to do it all in one day, spread it out over a week or something. best of luck to you, but the finished product should be great!

Pass. I'll just deal with it...or buy new doors and a bed.

i told you it wasnt easy ha, if i was working like i will be starting tomorrow i would have never got it done, but seriously buy a new door and bed? i would at least take it to a shop and see what they would quote you to take it off.

That was a joke...actually...I'm bothered more by the dent in the trim on the drivers door...

thanks i think i got a deal on it 100 bucks with a 5 year warranty. how dark was yours the first time you had it done before you added the 20 over it?

Looking good man! The removal of the rocker panel trim and the tint made a world of difference!

Now all you have to do is scrape those UT stickers off the back window and you'll be set! Just kidding...

Mine was 30% before I added 15% to it. I didn't like the 30 at all, it was way to light.

dont even start me on that, but we hung tuff for a pretty crappy team for UT. im a student so it really did hurt our O line was small and special teams sucked, yall are just lucky to escape, we shall see this year. cant live in the past. if we could have just blocked one fat ass guy, it would have been different...... oh well

the stickers are coming off though. they were just there to cover up the holes i had in my previous tint.
