BlueBat's Overlays Finally Installed

After 3 sets, 1 screwed up, 1 damaged in the mail, and a final set....6 hours of install in Miami I finally got my overlays installed. BlueBat is the man helping me get replacement overlays and finding an installer in my area. As far as DIY for these, anyone rookie who has managed to install these you rock because the girl that did mine had 4 years of vinyl experience and still took 6 hours but got them almost flawless. Here are some pics, sorry quality is bad but they are all I have.

why do they look so dark? Barely see any red, usually you can see through these right?

Or are the pics just throwing it off and making it look darker?

she wanted to charge me 150$ for roof overlay, ended up doin it another place for 20 bucks, even though the guy says he wnt do it for so cheap next time, probably charge like 35-40$ next time ... Thinking of putting solid black gtr front headlights on my liquid platinum / what do you think? how about the rear valence without splash guards, any pics?

she charged $150 took her time, she easily could have done a half **** job and left them looking like crap but she made sure to get all the wrinkles out and make sure they were perfect, much better than I could do, yah pics were taken at night my camera sucks so I can't get any good pics during day
