Window Tint Question

Hey Guys, just curious as to how you guys got your back window tint to look good with that dreaded dot matrix on the back window... Mine looks horrible. Would a windshield strip on the back window instead of the front take care of it???? Any info is much appreciated!!!

Go to somebody that knows what they are doing, my whole back window is tinted and looks awesome. the guy that did it has been tinting cars for 23 years.

vinyl strip is the easiest way. otherwise some tint shops will lightly sand down the dot matrix. makes it look a lot better but you have to know what your doing otherwise u could **** up the glass. if neither of those happen its pure luck. ive seen a guy who's only tinted 2 maybe 3 back windows have one turn out awesome. and the "trainer" whos been doing it for years have one turn out fucked the next day
