well if your back window has defrosters have it removed by a PRO shop and ask how they remove it.... ive heard they steem the tint off... some places are lazy as hell and just pull it off which can easily tear the defroster strips!
my tint shop said 80bucks to strip my 94, im just waiting till my parents get back home so they can pick me up and drop me back off when its done geting striped... my tint is HORIBLE!!!!

but this time im gonna wait to have it retinted... at least the back window, because my 99 has several bad defroster lines and it looks bad! so im gonna make sure they all work, or fix them, then get it retinted.

thanks guys for the advice, as far as the crowbar it was from someone that tried to pry my door open to jack the car but I guess he couldn't get the job done, lol. I think Im gonna leave the front fenders as there is only one small dent from a sandtruck that also smashed the light out on that side lol. I am gonna swap that damn h22a in there and tear up the streets for a while (not street racing just hard accelerating to the speed limit of course) and get to the local shop meets here for a few 1/4 mile runs, before any major work (Ill fix the rust tho, dents aren't so bad) Ill be posting up my buddy and I's progress on the swap in the project section as well)

we will be starting towards the end of may here on the swap, now I just got to finish up my suspension/tire setup before then and get the rust dealt with

ya i hope i dont have any busted defrosters BUT downfall is just like my 99 the tint is so jacked up on the rear window i cannt tell if they work now or not! :(

i hope i dont have any bad..... BUT time will tell, before i have it retinted. not sure how exactly im gonna test it out just yet.LOL at least my 99 has AC so i can unfog the interior windows after scraping the outside... but my 94 doesnt have AC :( keeping the windshield defrosted can be a PITA ALONE in the winter!
