installing yourself? If so, goodluck my friend. Overlays aren't an easy task if you don't know what your doing. My advice is just take your time and TRY to keep the frustration level down. Post some pics when you get it done

Vinyl strips/pieces formed to go over headlights, tailights, roofs...etc.

It's a film tint that is placed over the tail lights/headlights/etc. It's like tinting your windows but for the outside...

^ it's worth it if you are going for that look. Some look bad but some can really pull it off. It can tie together the car very well if done right. Personally, I believe in order to tint the tails...the windows have to be tinted,headlight bezels painted black, and grill from UTR or OEM painted black with Mt. Fuji left chrome. It ties it all together very well

I've got one, and I don't believe it by any means to be a permanent mod, but rather something to try out to see if you want to get it painted down the road. It will never gloss and be perfect like paint, but it will give you an excellent picture of what your roof would look like if you did go through with the painting.

Overlays or paint are well worth it.

I'm going to have a local paint shop do mine over because he has some way to make them look like overlays but with tons of gloss.
