Bluebat Overlays!

Well I just received my roof and rear taillight overlays from Andy but had a few questions. I tried installing the rear tailights and couldnt do it. I cant get it to smooth out over the hump so my question is for the people who got the install done at a shop, how much did you guys pay for the rear tailights?

Also, how much did the people who got the roof overlay done pay?

Can you guys please let me know how much I should be expecting to pay?

I heard someone saying he found a place that would do it for about.. 80 bucks? I think. But if I was gonna do it for someone.. and they would pay me.. I would at least ask for 150 to 200 bucks! lol cuz its hard work!!

What you gotta do is.. have someone help you. While your pressing and stretching the overlay, you need someone else to help you heat it up with a hair dryer.

It just takes time and determination but it can be done!!

Local shop charged $25 for mine.

After doing mine, he should've charged more. I watched him install them. He used the heat gun a lot to stretch the material to fit right.

I'm in socal and was interested in throwing these overlays on my blue slate. What do you charge for front/rear installation?

Does anyone have pics of the overlays on a blue slate G? I searched around and found nothing.

I have done a few sets myself on the 05/06 sedan tails with a bump. They are a pain but can be done.

Here is the link of my car.. I don't have them on anymore cause I got ticket by CHP.. SUCKS!!! But.. Yeah.. It's PITA to put them on over the hump.. But it can be done.. And usually it doesn't look good when you put it on.. After few days of getting sun on them it gets better...
