I was thinking of tinting the front windows two before seeing this...now I think I'll give up that idea
I don't think you should be trying to scrape off the tint yourself, it might not be possible, and you can scratch your windows badly, the cost of replacing is more than the cost of paying to get it done properly

It comes off pretty easily. Just spray some windex or rubbing alcohol around the edge, let it soak a bit and start peeling. The tint is really strong so once you get a little bit to come off, you can peel the whole thing off in one piece. The tough part is getting the glue to come off. Just use tons and tons of rubbing alcohol when you are trying to get the glue off. I also heard if you heat the tint with a heat gun before you peel, it would be easier.

should have known good ol' richmond cops that 's why I try to avoid going to Richmond most of the time (I have my front windows tinted). But too bad you guys can't cuz you live there.
I have found that the best way to get the tint glue off is with a razor scraper. Also called a window scraper or sticker remover. I have never harmed any glass while using this method. I have even scraped the glue off in between the lines of a rear window defroster with no damage to the lines.
If you don't want to do that, then get your hands on some GooGone. It takes off stuff that alcohol won't even touch.

Dude, that's pretty dark. The tint place that I talked to said that they remove tint for $15/window if it's their customer and like $20 if it isn't. Maybe you could find a place that will remove it for cheap if you agree to have them retint it (lighter than 35% of course).
