I used Z-Tech in Naperville, no problems, price was reasonable. Only took a few hours.

They did a good job over the dots, well at least I havent noticed anything yet. I forgot what my car even looks like, been under the cover since Nov!

I dont think you can go wrong with either Z-Tech or Umbra.

Another one for Umbra. The vinyl doesn't block your view at all, you can see some if it in the rearview mirror but not enough to block your view

Not sure if you still need this, this is the tint over dot matrix, shows up better in some light than other... It's enough to annoy me.

Umbra did mine which is just 1 block from my house. The overlay is the way to go and it doesnt block view, matter of fact I cant even see the overlay when sitting in my car.
