Blue BAT's overlays!
 
I am having these professional tint shop install my overlays for my taillight..THey are charging me $30 cash to install them!! is it worth it?

hell yea, $30 isnt that much. They'll look awesome if the tint shop does a good job.

That sounds right....I got mine installed for the exact same price...$30 front and $30 back...hope your installer knows what he's doing...

nightrider Mar 14, 2006 01:47 PM

ok good cause i thought they were overpricing my ***!

Careful, just about every single tint shop underestimates this job (yes, even good ones). See if they have done this kind of tinting before.

I went to Tint Zone...David is very familiar with installing Bat's overlays...he said it was a pain in the @$$, but he does an excellent job.

If you are remotely good with your hands, you might think about doing it yoruself and save the money.

Before I'd installed the taillight overlays, I'd never done any tint/vinyl work before. It was honestly not that hard, you just have to be patient. Other than a 1/4" thin wrinkle on the left hand side, I installed it perfectly in about 30 minutes. Fortunately, I worked up to the taillights by doing the corners and the orange markers first to see how the vinyl reacted to the heat of the blowdryer, and how it curled around the edges.

I wish I had the pics to prove to you, but I was rear ended last December and will have to do it all over again.

Not only do you save money, I think there's a greater gratification in having done it yourself.

If you are feeling a little adventurous, you should do it yourself.

Either way, you should be pleased with the overlays - I liked my rear much better after they were installed.

^ Hey G-ThreeFizzle, have you heard much about Pro Tint in Rosemead doing a good job on Bat's overlays?

Most people can do it themselves. However, there are times when they screw up one side and ace the 2nd one after they got the technique down. Please note, I'm always willing to sell another replacement piece at discount ofcourse should this happen to anyone. No need to buy a whole new set like other people require ;).
