    I was doing some research and read some guys were able to remove the oem tint from the Windows. I want to get rid of the tint in my little access cab windows. At a quick glance the window writing and the little black dots appear to be on top leading me to believe the actual glass is tinted and not a removable film. Can anyone confirm this or tell me I'm wrong?
    Thanks

    They're smoked glass.

    Not removable.

    ^ James is correct. Smoked glass, not removable.

    You could just replace the windows and sell the originals. Might not be too expensive. Why don't you like the dark windows?

    Just never been a huge fan of tint. But I'm not going to replace the Windows to get rid of it.

    Damn, tint is my first mod, bought the truck with the smoked glass and it was too light, so put 2 sheets of limo over it. If only my windshield could be tinted legally.

    It's not bad I'm just a huge fan of fishbowl look. I think cars look super clean without tint, especially dark vehicles, gives it a little contrast. It's no big deal tho my truck looks good the way it is. If it was easy to take off I'd do it but it's fine.

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    Just the access cab windows? Black them bitches out.
