also, would they be able to do the rear window in one sheet so there's no lines? and do you know how they are with the dot matrix stuff?

They do all the windows in one sheet. I can't remember the name of the woindow tint but I do know it is quite good and I've have zero problems with it so far (Little over 2 years). The dot matrix part still won't stick that great... compared to other camaro's I've seen done my dot matrix area has stuck the best. Either paint the dot matrix area before being tinted or try to sand them all down. A sheet of black vinyl in that area might also work also. Other than that I have no bubbles in my tint and he gives you a lifetime warrenty. Also make sure you get VUK (the owner) to do your car, he's been doing it for over 10 or 20 years (forget which).
