Default Window tint?

I hate tinted windows but I have seen a couple of cars that I would like to have with it. Can that be removed?? I'd hate to turn down a good car just because of this. Also do the 997s have the metal defrost lines on the back window??

Thanks

A tint install is ALL about the installer. I have used the same guy for going on 12 years now. He does a great job and a very small shop.
Yes you can remove tint. Again leave this to a pro.

My car had dark tint on the side windows and needed to be removed (illegal in CA). I was going to remove myself, but took the easy way out and had a tint shop pull it off. Took about 30 minutes (including cleaning the glass) to do driver and passenger glass. Charged me $40. The shop owner definitely had the removal technique down to a science so well worth the money. Also, he indicated that the tint was a good quality and came off mostly in one sheet - cheaper grade tint has crappy glue and will come apart when pulled off. It can also be steamed off - have not tried that.
