i just had my tint done by a buddy of mine who owns his own business. the little dots you are referring too "dot matrix"
can be less detected by, (and i watched him do this) he tinted the rear window just like all the others, but then he pulled
the top portion down,about 1/2 inch below the "dot matrix" and applied a thin line of elmers white glue to the base of the
peeled portion, and then squeeged up like normal. it seemed to come up looking better than a lot of other cars i had seen before.

The guy that did mine put a strip of black vinyl over the "dot-matrix" so you can't see it anymore. Then tinted the window as usual.

my tints just so dark you can't see the dots lol

if you're doing the rear window 5% aka limo tint you could do any of the suggested above or just paint the dot matrix black and then tint.

Any professional shouldn't have a problem with it. When I got my car it had shitty wal mart tint I took it to a tint place they removed and installed for $250. Lifetime guarantee anything goes wrong they will fix it.

It was probally 250 because they charge more to remove it, well from where Im from they do.

Also my sister had her cobalt tinted, and she had the dot matrix on the rear window, and they guy used some black viny to cover them, then tinted underneath, it looked pretty good

It was $215 because they charged extra to remove. Otherwise it would have been ~$175

I could but it wouldn't last long. The law in NY is really sucky. Just about anything is illegal. I got 35% sides and 20% back.

Gonna get mine redone here in a couple weeks. Mine is old and purple :santa_undecided: Last time I called it was 260 for lifetime tint on all the windows and to remove the old crap. The place that im going to does an awesome job, they did my moms 01 stang and it is perfect. Ill have to check and see how they did the back window for ya.
