Hopefully you washed the roof before you put on the overlay...

You can wash the car after the overlay is installed. Just wait a few days.

Hey those Headlight Eye Lids, are those Overlays? Doesn't look like the fiberglass kind. Looks more flush to me. Were did you order those from if you don't mind me asking. I have the same color Z, and love the way the headlights look with this. Looking forward to your response.

could you take a close-up pic of where the vinyl meets the edges (the front/rear windows and where the two pieces of vinyl meet).

Thanks in advance.

np.. ill have to do so maybe tomorrow...the edges near the windows u can tuck or try to trim so its flush..my installer tried to trim it flush and DID miss a few spots..and when i say miss its like HAIRLINE ...the front is the same...and the rear u tuck into between the hatch and ur roof..if that makes sense...the center piece where it meets is the most disapointing but i did have someone say it looks like maybe 2 pieces of glass that could open? haha
