Window tint question

Just got my '02 Z06 2 weeks ago and want to tint the windows.Just wondering about the band of dots at the top of the back glass. Does the tint contour to these or will I see a clear spot at every dot? Where I live you pretty much need tinted windows in the summer. Thanks in advance.

Mine has the clear dots around each dark dot.

First of all find someone who really knows what they are doing. The dots have to be sanded down, then have a strip of black vinal (sp) place over where the dots were. after that tint as usual.

If this is not done it will look like ****.
