Hey ranger, do you have only the front of your tails smoked? Do you have pix?

I think that smoked tail lights on a black car look awsome!

I think those overlays look the best on Brickyard. I saw them on TOM JONES and they are awesome. Of course, I like them on mine as well.


photo taken by Bat himself... Brick is Tom's and Silverstone's Mine.

I agree, the tails look best on Brick with SB as a close second. I also think its worth the money to get them professionally installed. Ive seen quite a few installs of Bat's overlays and nearly all of them have bubbles galore. The install is similar to a clear bra or tint. If done incorrectly, it looks like crap.

Its actually much easier since you can use the soap solution and slid it around, etc.....they guys that do it and turn out like crap just have NO experience installing decals/stickers and don't understand the whole process. I installed clear bra on my headlights and bats vinyl over that, believe me the vinyl is easier.

Mine still have some bubbles despite doing it the way it is supposed to be done. You can't see any bad spots unless you are up close though.

Mine also have bubbles in them, but only when you get up close to it. As long as the car has a little dirt on it, no one will ever notice!!

That's why I ended up removing mine. They looked good for a while and eventually developed bubbles, I finally could'nt take it anymore! I did the rear corner lights myself with store bought tint-they look damn good for about .50 cents

tint will work on a flat surface like the bumper lights, but nearly impossible on curved areas such as the taillights. I also question longevity of window tint on the exterior of the car.

As for bubbling issues, the key is to get ALL of the moisture out from underneath, via a squeegy. What happens is, if you don't get all the moisture out, bubbles wil appear after a while.

I thought about taking my car to someone and having them tint the tails for me so that I didnt have bubbles on such a big open area.
