Tinting $'s?
It's just too bad you guys don't live on the border with Mexico; you can get tinting for about 50 bucks with 3M window film down here. I payed 10 bucks last year to get my T-tops done with dark 3M window film.

Some people lay a piece of vinyl over it first to dark it all out. There are a few different fixes for it.
A good tinting shop should be familiar with that issue, ya think? Or should I make a mention of the issue?

The shop I got mine done at knew of the problem regarding the dot matrix..so I would say knowledgable tiniting shops would know what you're talking about. I would bring it up to them just so they know.

If you pull up to a car with your side windows up,,you can't really see the person next to you in detail..maybe just the profile of them.
