Tail Light overlay install question

robtrink · 06-21-2011, 08:35 AM

Hey guys,

Been looking at tail light overlay options for a while now and just trying to get everyone's opinion on whats best.

I am leaning towards the BlueBat overlay's, as I see many people already have bought and installed those.

I have done a few really easy tint jobs before, but I am wondering how easy these are to put on since they are vinyl. I notice the 370z tail lights have many curves and different grooves on them and was not sure if a hairdryer would shrink the overlay enough to make it fit without bubbling. For those of you with these, does the overlay come in one large piece?

I tried searching the DIY section but it looks like there are no pictures or tutorials yet. I rather stay away from painting the taillights so I am not really aiming to take them apart.

It comes in one piece. All my Overlays come with install instructions. I also have installers around the country that can do it for you

. Also, look in my gallery, there's a guide to applying overlays in there. Also a video, which I will post up later

Go with bluebat but don't install yourself find a shop that does vinyl advertising raps on cars and have them do it. Just my .02

Yes, make sure they have experience with vinyl overlays, not just WINDOW TINT!

Alright well is there a site where I can look at prices? or should I just PM you? I was looking at the tail light options myself, since I am painting the headlights
