Sedan Light Vinyl Covers?

Anything like the BlueBat Vinyl Covers I've seen on g35driver for a 2011 sedan. Heads and tails? Lemme know, thanks!

Contact BlueBat, he'll let you know what's available.
I know there's stuff to choose from. Check out these rear tail light covers. They are on my list of things to get:

Had both back in the day~
Not an easy install if you haven't worked w/ vinyl before.
Here's the Blue Bat opaque headlight & taillight overlays




I much prefer going the painted route, but the headlights are a labor intensive project, the tailights are much easier, especially since I have the exact vinyl cutouts for a perfect result~

Hey, thanks for the reply! Has anyone ever reported any issues regarding leaking with the painted headlight housing? I was looking into having the headlights painted but I was a little nervous since I'm from Maine. A lot of shrinking and expanding since temps range from -10 to 90 in an average year. Nice G btw!!

Thanks for the kind words
Regarding sealing of the lights, if you use the butyl sealing tape from this vendor your chances of a leak are minimal, also on the other link is the STiR lens replacement. This is one of the best $50 mods you can do, it gives a razor sharp light beam cutoff and a nice blue edge flicker surrounding the beam, also the crystal clear lens looks 10x better then the stock fresnal lens which has little circles etched into the lens mold for a soft cutoff and no edge flicker.
