Got windows tinted today.. have a question about vinyl to cover up the dots
I got my windows tinted today. The tint was 35% but the windows were already 70% from Chevrolet.. so I guess that makes them a little darker than 35%. They didn't cover the dots on the rear window. It doesn't look all that bad but I was wondering how I would go about getting some red vinyl to cover up that area. Do I just get a piece of it and cut it to how I want it? Is that how most people do it? Or can I buy a fitted piece online somewhere? Is there a way to color match vinyl as close as possible?
Here are some pics of the side windows..

Ahh forgot about black.. that is a good idea too.. I might just go with that. Where did you get the black vinyl from? I guess I could just pick up some at the local decal shop. Did you cut it yourself? Is it on the inside or outside?

Placing the vinyl on the inside would give you the same bubble look as tint. Yes I know teh "good shops" can do it over the bubbles. But my shop I use is awesome, but do to the high volume of people wanting tints and only one guy doing them everyother saturday (he has his own shop) they use black vinyl over the area. The shop I go to did it for me. Go there. At the most, $10.

That is interesting because I went had mine done and still got the warranty. They informed that it would take longer to set. The tint is staying in place. The real question is where did you get the vent visors from?
