yea you cant tint around them but it does not look that good from the outside. I had my rear window tinted 5% and up on the top of the window there are a ton of dots so i put about 6in black Vinal strip over it to cover it. It looks good in my opinoin.

I have 5% over mine too and it looks fine from a distance. The pony decal on the back kinda takes the focus off of it I guess.

here's what the vinyl strip looks like on the back....in the middle you can see what the dots look like (as they missed a tiny little strip on the bottom part of it) but you get the idea....the vinyl strip definitely looks better than those stupid dots that are hard to tint over...

Eh, doesnt look too good to me. Id recommend going to a good shop that uses a heat gun and takes time in their work.

Mine looks perfectly fine and its just tinted around the dots. Plus the shop I went to doesnt recommend tinting over the dots cause they said itd peel easily.
