if you try to cover the dot matrix, it will look like crap. i stopped mine right before it, and you can't tell from the inside of the car. i have a 5% on mine, and its great.

My tint shop put some kind of special paint tint. You see the tinting stuff can only bond to glass, so if there's a dot matrix the tint can never get a true bond to the glass. It cost me like $50 extra but I think it was worth it. You can't tell the difference between my tint and the paint unless your really looking for it.

i got my tint done at the dealership for free, they didn't cover the dot matrix because they said it would end up bubbling. thats why the rsx doesn't have it. looks good man
