The only person I know that has the lamin-x is Gamedog. Maybe he can chime in here and let you know.

I had Lamin-X, and they were awesome quality, but to get any overlay on perfectly is a pain in anyones ***. I ended up ripping them off and getting my tail lights professionally smoked. If you can deal with some creases, bubbles, and not looking shiny up close go for it, but those things alone drove me crazy

If you want overlays, then get Lamin-X... The quality is second-to-none IMO... What jweb said is true, installing them is a pain in the rear.. I ruined my rear overlays trying to install on my own... But when done correctly they look great... I have a set of Headlight overlays that are just sitting in my closet and if you're interested let me know... Oh and Bat's stuff is also top quality, I just went with Lamin-X because it was thicker and darker IMO...

ya when i got bats installed my installer said they were a bit thin and a thicker overlay would be better to have. Bats looked nice though and did the trick plus bat is a good guy to deal with

Bat lost a lot of weight when I saw him at Cars and Coffee. Almost didn't recognize him if he didn't come up to me. Haha.

^ I should have Bats rear valence on at the end of the day. Want to see first if the installer does a good job then I'll get the GTR tails. I wouldn't want to see bubbles nor creases either. It would irritate the heck out of me.

Mine arent as thick, but also I believe mine are a bit cheaper . Application is the same for both.
