Default Turn Signal overlays or these...

Well, I've heard that blue bat has some sick overlays and I emailed him about the price, but I just stumbled upon the GTS smoked covers.


And these for the rear -

I remember when I had my celica that the GTS covers were considered ricey, but I haven't seen an actual picture of them on a 350 and they seem simple to install and easy to remove.

Thoughts?

By the way they are located at the thezstore.

Objective is to darken/tint your front reflectors&backups.right?
You can go this route with the pieces you are looking at.Or,
just get smoke vinyl overlays that are much cheaper.I've got the
vinyl ones on my Z.Pretty cheap,bought on E-Bay.Cut exact size.
easy to install.Been on my car over 3 yrs.They look new.

Yup, to darken them out. I absolutely hate the orange ones up front and the backs are okay but I think they may look better blacked out, which is why the covers may be best if I want to take them off.

Ultimately, I will probably wait a little longer for bat to email me and if he doesn't by later tonight than I will purchase the covers. I've been rather impulsive lately...

Get vinyl overlays instead of GTS covers. The covers tend to look "clunky" since they've got a lot more thickness than the vinyl overlays.

I did my tail-lights and rear signals with vinyl and am happy I did. I ended up ditching the vinyl on the tails and it came off without an issue.

Really no big deal these overlays.All are widow tint material.Don't know
what Bat charges?As I said,there are sources on E-bay that have been selling these for years.Geez,these are cheap.Not like you are buying
an exhaust system.If you got the bucks to burn,look at getting some CF
cowl covers for your front reflectors to go with your overlays.Super expensive but look great.
Vivid sells e'm.I've got them on my Z.

I get what your saying and the only reason I'm so into Bat's overlays is because they are cut to fit and he has been around for years (remember hearing about him back in the day when I was modding my Celica). I would rather not have to cut them myself, but if it's not that big of a hassle I may try to do it myself. Maybe I'll look into these options a little. Big thanks on the input.
