vinyl strip on the dot matrix does look good, and is probably the best option. you can tint over it, but most of the time, it will have this white look to it because it doesn't stick really well. you can also have it sandblasted, but unless you really trust the tinter and have seen his/her work in regards to sandblasting on other cars, then I wouldn't recommend it.

I have vinyl strip on mine. I don't think I've taken a pic of it. I'll have to see when I pick up the rolls I had developed if I took pics of it on those..
