Default help my dot matrix is screwed with tint

ok i just got my windows tinted and the dot matrix screwed the tint up so i want to know what to do about it. i dont know what to do because i have been given ideas to just cut the tint off where the dot matrix starts but i dont know if i should do that because i dont know what it will look like. and also i was thinkin about covering it up with a red banner across the back window but i dont know about that either.(i have a red car) and if i put the red banner on it i could put one on the front but i think it would still look stupid.you guys got any ideas. thanks in advanced for any suggestions-
steven

I would cut it off and put a vinyl stripe across it. I had one put on when I first got mine tinted and it turned out great.

don't know what to do about the dot matrix but don't put the red strips on. They look like crap. The vinal strip might work. Now that i think about it I have heard of people painting over it but I don't know how well that would work.

paint works fine. I suggest taking it to a shop and asking to see some of their work where they have painted over something like that and going from there. When it comes to looks of your car things like DIY tint is NOT the way to go =)
