anyone know price to have overlays installed

 

Pretty close to window tinting charges, all 5 of mine cost $120.. although he said he'd want more from the next guy. Considering a window tint could cost $200 for an hours worth of work, 1/3 to half of that tint, this guy spent 2 1/2 hours on my car so I thought this was a good deal.

 

eek, i probably install the thing myself...

 

If you do, plan on spending some time and a lot of patience. It isn't too bad but the corners can be a b**ch....

 

oh, i got all the time in the world. are there any directions? blue, give us some directions on how to install them correctly.

 

search, there is a whole thread on how to install his overlays.

let me do it for you:

not a very hard install.

 

hmm. would a flexible silicon spatual work better than a hard plastic card ?

 

Possibly, but I think the goal of the card is to push the water out from under the vinyl and I don't think the spatula will be firm enough, since the installation process sounds the same as applying an Invisible Shield to an iPod.

 

Do the overlays for the healights and taillights go on top or are they applied behind the glass / plastic? Sorry for the stupid question but I wanted to confirm.

If applied on top, has anyone had issues with them pealing up?

 

They go on top. So far I haven't heard of any complaints about bat's overlays peeling. The vinyl is 7 year rated. If there is any peeiling, it's probably because of the way it was put on.

 

Thank you for the reply and the info, The1andOnly.

I live in Texas and the heat is murder on our cars. I wouldn't want the heat to affect the overlay.

 

No prob. I'm sure the overlays will make it through the heat. If you're still questioning if they can last, make a post in the regional section for Texas to see if anyone has bat's overlays now or have had them on their G35 to see if they lasted.

 

oh, thank you. , now i can order the taillights and see how that goes, if i can do it, i will order the headlights, roof, and the rear "black diffuser".

 

Great idea! Thank you!
