the dot matrix at the top of the e92s are difficult for non-experienced shops to get right. i've gone thru many iterations and the best one was to use a black vinyl overlay to cover the dots and tint UP to the overlay (not over it although it prob won't hurt). if an installer tells you any different method, find another installer b/c they have no clue how to handle it.

you can wait as long as you want for it to dry, but it will still look terrible unless you black out the dots with the overlay.
