I am having my windows tinted next week hopefully. I was wondering if anyone had pics of the dot matrix at the top of the back window blacked out. Everyone keeps telling me to do it but I need some pics to decide, thanks.

Thats alright maybe someone else does, thanks for the compliment, I just bought the car 3 monthes ago complety stock right down to the tires and brakes. I think it does damn good for still being almost stock, biggest thing was the tune, but this winter I plan to get a ls6 intake, cam, headers, true duals out the back and a 3600 stall. We will see how well it does then.

Cool thanks for the posts guys, tint shop said 30 bucks to vynil it so I guess that is the way im going. I think I'll have them bring it down to the top defrost line then butt the tint up to it ill post up some pics when I get it done.

I masked off the dot area and spray painted it black.. they we tinted the window and just overlaped onto the paint.

Adds extra shade, you can't see it from the rear view mirror and it looks great from the outside.

Definitely do it... looks a million times better than the tint not sticking to the dots.

so the tint wont stick to the dot matrix unless u paint it or remove it?? when i bought my car, the dot matrix wasnt tinted, and it has been annoyin the **** out of me. im gonna tint it soon.

I was planning on doing all 3 windows 35%. Would it look shitty having the dots painted and the rest of the window that light?

Got mine tinted about a month ago and I'm not having any problems with the tint not sticking to the dot matrix.

hahaha. IMHO, the materials or "pros" do not matter in this circumstance. Eventually the dot matrix > tint. One month is not usually long enough to see it :sorry:

btw, nice job getting the pics up Kevin
