Hey Bat i sent you an email through your website about a possible custom job. I love the ZH6 but i dont like how it covers the lighting. I was thinking of a overlay that will make the headlight look like the JGTC 350Z it sort of looks like the celica headlight. It would go from the bottom part like the ZH6 and go straight to the back corner on each side. to give a more blunt cut across the headlight. I myself am an artist like you and have been waiting for this style to come out for a while and i bet there are a few more behind me they just havent seen it yet!!
Keep me posted BAt if you would be able to do this it would be for a Daytona Blue Z
Thanks

Finally, a step by step on how to apply my Vinyl Overlays, particularly on curved surfaces! Moderators, feel free to sticky this
.
1. Make sure surface is clean before starting.
2. Peel Overlay from backing and dip in a bucket of warm soap and water. I usually squirt just a dab of dishwashing liquid in a bucket and fill it halfway.
3. Carefully place Overlay on surface, and position it.
4. Once you have the Overlay placed exactly where you want it. Start by heating up one end. This will help the vinyl become pliable and easy to work with.
5. Then, take a squeegy or credit card and wrap it in a soft damp cloth to prevent scratching the Overlay. Start by applying pressure from one end and slowly work your way across the center of it.
6. Now, you may be discouraged because of all the wrinkles towards the ends. Don't be. Begin heating the sides up.
7. Now, slowly work your squeegy from the middle outward. Do it slowly. This will ensure the vinyl is dispursed evenly over the surface.

8. Any overlapping areas can be tucked under the edges. Again, use a hairdryer, then tuck Overlay.
9. Tada!

. zh1 follows the contours of the chrome inlay underneath the lense, the zh3 covers the entire headlamp
