New Pics!! Tinted CS Z with Bluebatmobile.com Overlays!
Got the Overlays after I got my car tinted all the way around with 15% tint (I love it) and I wanted to get overlays to match. I ordered from Bluebatmobile.com and got quick response and delivery, pretty easy to install, but to make it easier on those of you who havent ordered these..Ill tell you how I did it...
With my GF, and her hairdryer....the front overlays I did myself and just went over with hairdryer to get them really on there, but rears, the easiest way to do them is to put them on, line up the top part (Skinny part near door handle) and then push the water out from under the top skinny half so when doing the bottom half, it isnt sliding around, because the bottom half requires two people to do it.
So I have the top half on, and all water out from under it, so it isnt going to move anywhere. I have my GF with her hairdryer, and a small tissue ready to heat the overlay up, and smooth out and bubbles as we go along. What I do, is I grab the over lay, and slowly stretch it ou while heated, inch by inch, if any bubbles come up, she just rubs them out. But slowly work your way down stretching the overlay around the light (Doesnt need to be perfect, can cut later) after we got it to mold around the light and perfectly smooth...I let it dry, and then I cut the extra off, and then used the dryer to make them shrink really tight around the edges...here are the pics!! I love them!

Here are the second set of pics....my HID's look aqua, but are actually a deep blue, the camera does funky stuff to the color...I love love love these overlays, and no one in my area has these, or has rims (except someone with some chrome 18's) so I feel like I have the most different Z around here...hopefully with my Veilside lip, and HKS Hi-Power Ti exhaust I will be making a scene!

Last set....at night, you cant really tell you have these on, the overlays are pretty dark during day, but give perfect amount of light at night, so no rear end crashes...

haha, yeah pretty dark, but its not the darkest, I could of went 5%, but I want to be able to see things out of my back window 
I wanted dark because I dont want people to be able to see us, I want them to wonder J/K, I just saw a G35 rolling here, all he had was some 15% tint, but that dark as tint made it look sick, I said I gotta have that...I think 15% is perfect!

Your Z looks absolutely sweet
And I must comment you on the nice job of blacking, I mean silvering, out your license plate
Most people don't take the time to try and match it to the car and to me it just funks up the picture
Nice job

I could sell that dog and it could pay for my HKS exhaust.......haha Yeah its cute, belongs to my GF, name is mishka..
Any of you sactown guys see me, pull me over, I aint shy ;p
donricouga, that is a chrome strip, lots of people have 3 of them on each grill line, but since the top junky one fell off I pulled the bottom one off, and I like it much better. I'm sure you can find them on the net for $15
