It should only take a couple of hours. Too bad you're not up here I'd do it for you or I know someone up here that could.

Do you know if they heat shrink the tint? If they do,the tint should form perfectly to the window.

This same topic has been here many times before and it always ends up with the same answers. Ask EVERY Vette owner you see in your area and get recommendations and look at their work. You'll hear the right names come up over and over. Tint CAN be put over the dots successfully and in a single piece, mine has been on 3+ years with no bubbles or flaws. It's all in the skill of the installer. Be patient, ask lots of questions, and you will find the right installer. Good luck!
