Overlay installation FAIL!

Yea, so I tried to install some overlays and I failed BAD.. the sidemarkers were sooo easy to do so I felt tough... I attempt the tail overlays and.. 1. I ripped on of them while drying. 2. theres bubbles and mini hills on the edges of the lights. ITS UGLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYY... lol.. Good thing there is a local 350Z guy that does overlays.. 50 bucks down the toilet lol.

Its ok, thanks though!

I ordered them from a guy named Dan on ebay.. I guess I streched too hard.

The local guy has his own shop and he specializes in overlays so I'll just head down there.
