Overlay Installer

I am not skillful enough to apply the overlay at my taillights, I would like to ask if anyone knows any people/ shop in Toronto that offer overlay/ tint installation services.

*Most tint shops that I have contacted said that they don't help people install tints that are not from their shops...

In all honesty, the only skill you really need to have is patience. I took my time when I installed my headlight overlays on my 07 Sedan and I made out ok. The tail lights don't have the curves that the headlights do, so they should be easier to install.

I just followed these steps and took my time.

Thanks Ian, Chico and Shane!

Guess what.. Shane is right that patience is the key, however, I managed to ruin my last set lol.. the lines in the taillights really killed me (especially the 05-06 lights with the extra bulges).

I guess I would try Chico's shop in Sauga! and report back once I have any news.

Ian,

I tried two times already, it was either the shop being two busy or they said the weather is not appropriate for overlay install

I would have to try again after x'mas... I am so tempted to try again on my own, but I am afraid that I might screw it up (again)
