Looks good. Just using regular spray paint, aren't you concerned about durability?

let me tell you i bought blue bats head light overlays, twice they are not cut right, plain and simple he can tell me they are but htey are not they need alot of work to get tehm on right, but then you still have ugly meet lines, they only way to get teh good look on the lights is patin the out sides, no offense to bat, but they are not cut right i wish he could make them right, but he has not. i had them put on by the best tinter i know, and they looked horrible, after. i ripped em off after week. then i bought another set, and anther tinter showed me how off the pattern was, well bats a good buy, but this particualrt product the gtr 3, is really bad, i dont suggest it. i would buy it from him if he made the pattern right.

I like the way the emblem looks as if it is floating in the center.

It looks nice.

I hate to say anything negative about the GTR3 overlays, which I haven't, as I've seen pics of them where they look great. Likewise, Andrew stands behind his product, which I found out firsthand.

That said, I experimented with one set and just couldn't get it, so I took the next set to the local vinyl-sign shop. The guy trimmed a little and had to shrink them a lot, but the fit was still a PITA and the lines were off. The remaining bubbles that the installer could not remove, but thought would go away , aren't attributable to Bat's product as he warns against letting bubbles dry. I wish the amount of trimming needed was better outlined. If I tried another set myself, I'm sure I could get them to a suitable level. An installer with a lot of experience with these overlays should have the process down really well.

At this point, I'm just going to pull my headlights the next time the bumper is off and paint them for the effect that I've wanted all along.
