ok this is how you should do it . go to a place and get it tinted cause tinting isnt easy and looks like crap if its not good film and film adhesive and all of that kinda crap. when you get the tint go ahead and get platinum tint because of the dot matrix. the tint wont stick to the dot matrix and with the platinum you cant tell at all but with charcoal you can tell easily. and you will have to end up gettin somethin put over it or something and make sure to tell them to tint your 3rd brake light if you have one
