no just tint over it, it will look really stupid if you don't. Tell the guy tinting not to be lazy and try getting out of the harder stuff. Tell them you'll go somewhere else. I got a flawless job, everything tinted for about 180 and a three year warranty. Look at the post above it is clearly better to tint over the dots. To tell you the truth, i think you should take your bussiness elsewhere. They sound like aholes. There are plenty of places to get your windows done. I called and went to a few places before i finally decided.
