apparently they are a touch dark so now I need to rip them off. Not a big deal since I bought the car like that and it's pretty shoddy anyway. I was thinking a razor blade and goo gone to tackle the job. Anyone have any better ideas? Here is one of many Alfas that I am lusting over.

Don't show Brian that Alfa. He will fight you for it.

A heat gun might also be useful.

heat gun (or hair dryer) to make it warm to the touch.

Razor blade to get strips started pull gently and perpendicular to the glass.

Rubbing alcohol and very fine steel wool will get the adhesive off. Don't be a hero, when the steel wool fills up with goo, turn to a new spot or just throw that piece out.

More rubbing alcohol and paper towels to get the smears off.

Whatever you normally clean the windows.

I have heard they help, but I can't think of any other use for it. Wait! There is a harbor freight nearby! Perfect for this.

Not imperative, but helpful. Heat gun is better and you don't have to suffer the insults of your homophobic friends.

I've used this method with good results in the past.

how are the newer ones? I love the look of them and the hatchness. I recently switched to these so I have that classic black and gold

nah they aren't like that. I was informed of a portable space heater. Improvising!

ooo! That's actually pretty smart. You just have to find the switch on the bottom. Most of those will turn themselves off if you pick them up off the floor.

that should look good. I just picked up my winters today, I went with Firestone and black steelies. It was cheap set up. I love the car but its hard to evaluate it cuz all i really have to compare it to are Explorers but I have 10k miles on it and the thing still blows my mind
