Overlays I GIVE UP :(

Alright can some one please create a sticky with step by instructions of how to install Bat's overlays for the headlights. Believe me or not as stupid this may sound i just spend 3 long hours sitting at the tint shop trying to get them fools to install this overlays on my ride. At the end the guy just gave up & i end up throwing my passenger side overlay in the trash. Can someone please help.

I haven't done headlight overlays, but i'd imagine it'd be similar to doing the rears. You'll just have to start in the middle, but with the gradual curvature of the surface, you'll probably have to take the hairdryer to it for a larger part of the overylay.

Bro, i went to elite there located in Delray bch. The rear taillight is very easy my dad did it for me. However just to do the front headlights i didn't wanted take any chances therefore i went straight to the tint shop but, unfortunetly that didn't do me any good.

Bat always takes care of his customers. Just takes time and patience to get it on and get it right.
