Nice...I'm tempted to do it myself using the Night Shades spray...but I'm afraid to mess it up. I did it on my Grand Prix and it came out fine...but I want it to be perfect on the Z. I was thinking about sending them out to Jon's Tinted Tails to get them done for about 85.00 plus shipping...but then I'd be afraid they wouldn't pass inspection....so atleast with Bat's overlays, you can peel them off if you need to.

Post up that HOW TO!!!!!!

I was wondering if anyone knows of a place or site where I can get a sheet of vinyl overlay smoked color material instead of going custom. Thanks,

I can sell you the vinyl by itself, email me. Or you can get my Overlay, precut for $30.

yes, bats are split.. i dont think you can get one piece overlays do to the curvature of the lights.... just will not work.. unles you find some stretchy kind of vinyl..

Ya, they're 2 piece. Toykilla's right, it's extremely difficult to apply a 1 piece because of the curvature. However, I think I'm going to attempt a 1 piece down the road.

If you look carefully, you can see it. The neat thing about it, is that I had it line up with the bumper. Note the reflectors are still quite visible with the Overlay.
