And even then it can be a p.i.t.a. I bought two sets total and still couldn't get it right. Even took it to a high end auto shop and they couldn't get them to fit either. Sometimes it's just not meant to be.

Those are the easiest install you can start with besides eye'lids. The area is basically flat so as long as you get all the water out, you should be fine.

That's gonna look good with the grille, headlights, and clears all blacked out.

Randy does great work, i love my grille too!

haha, 2 other people?!?! Clear corner overlay installs take a couple minutes a side. I did my interior door handle overlays in 20 minutes for all 4!!

Yeah..I love the way that it came out. Im gonna try to do the clear corners this weekend but I dont think that I am going to attempt the tail-lights.

As for the headlights, I think that I am going to send them to Randy while I am on my honeymoon so that he could paint the inside of my headlights gloss black. I think that would look better than just putting an overlay on. What you think?

Definitely send em out to Randy is you want them to be black. I love my BlueBat headlight overlays but if you want them to match the grille then you gotta paint em. And i'd never go with 6/10 on the front because it'll affect the lighting too much (atleast in my case cuz i have bad eyes for night driving). So with painting them you wont lose any lighting output.

The clears you can easily do yourself, but the tails are definitely a project to tackle, just take your time and dont get frustrated, the first side will probably take close to an hour-90 mins, but once you get the hang of it, the other side should only take 30 mins. GOOD LUCK!!

Yeah, that is the reason why I am not going with overlays. My eyes are really bad at night as well. I plan on adding fog lights in the lower grille area to brighten up the road a little more.

Im gonna do the clears this weekend and I might even try the tail-lights...who knows.
