Any one in Northern NJ have any experience installing overlays? I have a pair of bats tgtr overlays and am not even going to try doing it myself. So if anyone knows a shop, or anyone that can do a good job please let me know...

Thanks

 

Not sure of a shop but i tried it myself once and ended up screwing them up. Definetly have a shop do it... any one who does tints can probably do that.

 

I know the shop where Im getting my windows tinted at said it wasnt worth it for them to do it, its a pain in the *** lol

 

Remember! Window tint is NOT the same as Vinyl. Alot of these window tint guys claim they've installed Vinyl Overlays, and end up f*cking up the install. Make sure they have experience in installing vinyl.

Bump

 

i had my window tint guy do it... it came out perfect! but he regretted taking the job, it was a major PITA he said. it took him 2 hrs.

 

It took me 2 hours to install my rear valence and front bumper inlets that fell apart after a week . Now I have the real deals... ING inserts and Rear Diffuser

 

Your tint guy wasnt Top of The Line Tint on rt.46 was it?

 

Nope. I'm getting my tints done (hopefully) mid-next week on the shore

 

bump.. does anyone know a place? I know a guy in Jersey that can do the wireless radar and the stock head unit -> system install and he has a g. gotta find out if he does anything like this though.

 

Well attempted it myself and did a really crappy job, from far away it looks awesome, but up close not soemthing that belongs on a 35k+ car lol. Went crazy trying to line up all the cutouts and as hard as I tried just couldnt get it all to match up. Dont think I'll shell out another 50 bucks for another pair though....

 

Unfortunately, that's how most overlays seem to turn out. I took off all my overlays because they looked good from a distance, but if you walked by the car it is VERY embarrassing. Especially when the **** starts ripping and bubbling up. I've learned my lesson with overlays. Big no no. You're MUCH better off getting a professional tinter to tint your lights than ordering vinyl that no one knows how to install properly (probably because it's impossible to install it to look a quarter decent up close).

I spent nearly $100 on Bat's overlays just to throw them out after applying them. At that rate you're better off just getting stuff professionally done correctly the first time than waste a lot of money, then not want to persue it any more because you wasted that money to begin with with the vinyl.

 

man i gave up in trying to put on these overlays. i bought them again, had some help, and still winded up messing up one of them again. i cant even find a decent shop in chicago to put them on my car. im being hesitant now to order once more and mess up again..

hope you find someone in your area who can do these well.

 

Same here, two sets of vinyls trashed. ****
Anyone in Tulsa OK with experience?

 

I have a couple shops out here that apply my Overlays for customers who dont want to try it themselves. Some people have a knack for it, others dont. I always offer a discount on 2nd sets as well. I wish I knew someone back east that could help you out. In the meantime, here are some install guides:
