I should be able to get these on the car tonight. I will post pics this weekend.

And here are the before and after pics and the brushes I used:
JB1, I can't seem to find the link for the vinyl overlay. Is there some where I'm not looking?

Try this email address. They guy doesn't have an online store, just email him and he'll give you instructions on how to order. A bit weird, but it worked for me.

mailto:bluebatmobile@san.rr.com

I put the overlays on yesterday, but i'm not 100% happy. To the left and right of the " fog light" the overlay didn't cover completely, so I'll email bleu bat to get some feedback.

Simota, thanks for the diy! Did my fangs last week. As you can see in a previous post, I had some problems getting some edges straight, but in the end it all worked out fine. Your DIY was very helpfull!

Hey guys I redid the fangs and they came out great! I used the brush like you said JB1 and it worked like a charm. Simota thank you for the DIY! I sanded it down and I also borrowed some nail polish remover from my mom :lol: I actually put about 4-5 coats of the acrylic lacquer. I didn't use the clear at all. Let's see how long it lasts.

I'll post pics tomorrow from a PC, I'm on my iPhone now.

I'm glad you were able to fix the fangs! Did you get the special WalMart brushes?

Pics are attached below. As you can see it's not far off, but just enough to create 2 "fangs" on either side of the fog light cove thing. So I got rid of the front fangs, but added rear fangs, how about that...

BTW sorry Simota for taking over your thread

I see what you mean. It doesn't look bad at all though.

Yeah, its "not bad". But not bad is not not good enough for me . The rest of the fitment is really good so to me this really stands out. It just bugs me a bit, that's all
