Default Installing Overlays Today!

Ok, Well I am going to embark on this today, in about 20 minutes. I have my hair dryer, some soapy water and a friend. According to the instructions thats all I need, well..... it also says patience, but hopefully I will find that along the way.


I will post some before and after pics when I get em done. Wish me luck!

Hopefully my freakin wheels will get here soon .. tired of my stockers.

Ok, they are done.. here are my tips:

Use lots of soapy water! When you put them on, use a ton. Position them into place, and then when you are comfortable with whre it is, peel off half of it, then wipe the lamp off with a rag, anf then place the overlay back on.

Then , with a rag, wipe off all the bubbles. Mine came out with some small bubbles, not noticeable from 3ft, but if you go up close, you can see them.

I decided to only put on half the taillight, and half the headlamp overlay. It looks pimp as hell. In direct sunlight, I dont like the headlamps, but in indirect light, the headlamps look awesome.

The tail lamps look good no matter what. Can I send hi res photos to someone to host and post? I dont know how to post hi res photos, but I have a ton.

Please PM me if you can host the photos, or want them. Thanks!



Thanks to Blue Bat for the great product!

Finally, MAKE SURE you have 2 people to install them! It will not work without an extra set of hands! It took about 45 minutes to get the rears and headlamps on... I assume if you were to put the other sections on, it takes about 20 minutes per peice to install them.
