Look over the pics on which overlay you want and how dark you want it. Then click contact member:

And fill out the form and tell Bluebatmobile exactly what you want. You can reference the pictures that you liked from the photo album, and bluebatmobile will take it from there...

I haven't had it aligned yet. There may be some rubbing if you go back to origianl camber specs.
I have a slight change to make in the rear, and I won't have any troubles.

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who screwed up!
I got these for X-mas, and I decided to try doing them late on X-mas night.
I got the inside overlays done without much trouble, but I could tell that it was going to be more work that I realized.
Needless to say, I totally botched the driver's side rear overlay! I was using a heat gun, and I did a little too much shrinking (and melting) of the material. I worked in a Car Audio shop for years, and I used to watch the tinters do their thing. With tint, you use the heat gun to shrink the material.....not the right technique for these overlays!!!!!
The technique is to use a hairdryer. when it is warmed up, you can stretch it and work it into shape. It took a long time to do. Heat, stretch, squeegee, REPEAT!!! when it would dry up, i'd respray, and peel it back a bit. I did alot of respraying with a soap/water mix.
There must be a better technique than my amateur ways. Each tailight overlay took me a good, PATIENT, 3-hour session. I did each one on a easy weekend day when I had no interuptions or need to do anything else. I waited a week in between the 2 sides because I had to order another driver's side (oops!)

Axis no longer makes this wheel. I think it is one of the best looking mesh designs....ever. there's just something about the proportions.
Axis has replaced it with the Penta.
Springs are tein 350Z H-techs.
