General window tint question...

If you have tinted windows how is it done on the back and side windows that have those little dots - does it cover those or is the tint film cut back from them?

My tint covers the dots. A couple have a very slight bubble next to them, but the tint sealed around for the most part.

Just make sure what your state allows for tinting. Out here, the CHP has ticketed cars for too much tint.

Yes, tint laws stink. In VA, troopers can ticket you for tint that is too dark just for driving through the state. I have even heard they can make you rip it off the glass on the spot, but that has never happened to me.
