quality of bluebatmobile's overlays
 
how's the quality of these overlays? more specifically the ac vents and guage pods and rear bumper?

Dr Bonz Jul 19, 2006 04:50 PM

My rear tail light overlays are of the highest quality. No fading or peeling whatsoever.

The front reflector overlays have lasted me about 2.5 years but the one on the driver's side is starting to get frayed on the ends. It sits very low to the ground and takes the most beating of any of his overlays however.

The CF ones I have on the inner door panels have lasted about 2 years and for the most part, are still going strong. One of them on the triple gauge pod has peeled up recently. Most likely due to the fact that it bakes in the sun.

Overall, I think Bat's products are overall very good.

my overlays are holding up well, great quality. Now.. im not saying this is 100% due to the overlays, but after applying them to my hedlights, i have a ton of stress cracks all over both my headlight, where as before the overlays (for 3 years) they were in perfect shape. Both my headlights need to be replaced, no way around it.

I also have the taillight overlays and sidemarker and reverse light they are all great, no issues whatsoever with those.

The cracks occur reguardless of the overlays. Many owners have reported these. Especially with the 03's.

MustGoFastR Jul 20, 2006 07:06 PM

I dunno about that; my '03 headlights are perfect. I recall noting the cracks in Beny's Z when I saw it at the meet and chalked it up to the overlays; I guess they keep more heat in or something. At any rate, it's nothing specifically with Bat's overlays; I'd just avoid putting anything like that on the headlights.

Dr Bonz Jul 21, 2006 04:46 AM

I've seen at least 10 03's with this cracking and none of them had overlays.

Had his overlays on my previous Celica for 4 years and they held up nice. Do any of you know if he is still selling, i've tried to order some overlays from him but he wont respond to my e-mails.

I've had my B-Pillar overlays for couple of years now, they still look as good when I installed them.

Yea my lights have cracking also. Before the overlays.

The overlays are great. I will get some pics up after the weekend. If you have no patience, don't attempt this yourself. Take it from me. I fuked one bad... Crease galore :(

Ofcourse :). I have a new email address ;). Try again.

The fact that your overlays are lasting as long as they are doesnt surprise me :). I get emails all the time from customers who've sported my stuff for at least 4 years now telling me how impressed they are with the quality :).
