i got mine tinted including the dots on the top, its not bad at all, not really a big deal , but yea there is some small amounts of air by the dots, other than that its fine. i dont notice it anyway, no one does.

thats because whoever did it, took care to do it right. I went to some high end shop to get some tint, opted for some quality metallized film, rather than just died film. The installer took about 3 hours on the car, tint came out sick, no bubbles no nothing, I see the dots back there, but the tint looks good over them.

I had it done to mine to match the limo tint. From the outside it looks perfect but insde the car you can see it was painted with some white spots. But I dont turn around to look at the dots. If you ca get it done, it makes the tint look darker due to less light coming in. Try and get it done a week after the actual window tint so you can put the windows down because your is going to smell like paint.

It turned out great, no one would ever know that there was ever a dot matrix on there..

i had the back window out from a little "project" that Ive been working on for the past year, so it was easy. i just put it up on the workbench and started scraping then took it to the tint shop.

I'll post pics of what i'm doing to the back window when i get done (most of yall will hate it)

I make the vinyl if anyone needs it. Pre-cut. Installed one today actually.
