tGTR overlay install
Installed Bat's tGTR overlays last night. I love the look of them, although up close, you can tell I didn't do the best job on the install. I'm contemplating getting another set and giving it another shot. The flat parts of the tailight are fine and look great, but around the corners got real tricky and I ended up with some creases. Anyways, heres a crappy pic from my phone. I will take more pics later after work.

And big bubbles you can pop with a straight pin and press air out.
Small bubbles disappear after awhile. Creases...ehhh...hate when that happens. Redo
if ovrly has dried on tail light.
You use a heat gun or hair drier? That helps with stretching/molding/shrinking around curved areas while squeegeeing and helps with no creases.
If you get creases while installing and still wet, pull back to area, spray to keep wet, squeegee out crease, blow drier to shrink and set that area, then keep going.
Patience is the key and keep working/setting moderate areas at a time. Thats what work for me.
