Overlays

Hey guys, I am planning on getting the GTR overlays for headlights and tailights. Anyone know where I can get them installed or maybe any of you can lend me a helping hand? =]

Putting on the overlays isn't THAT bad. I did mine not too long ago. it just takes a lot of patience. I used some soapy water, credit card and a hair dryer or heatgun. let me know if you need some help.

It is not bad. I just used a spray bottle with a tiny bit of soap, a soft towel and a credit card. It took me about two hours to do my sedan GTR's and the side markers.
But if you want someone to do it, call the places that do automotive graphics.

I called up a lot of tint places I saw on craigslist and the cheapest estimate I got was $50 for both headlights and tailights. Does anyone know where I can get this done the cheapest besides doing it myself?

I think that's about the cheapest for all the lights... I personally like working on my car if its not too hard. puting on the overlays isn't that hard, just time consuming if you're not a pro. I don't mind giving you a hand if you wanna save some money.

Helping does not require money! I don't do this for a living, so I don't see a point in charging.

This is really nice of you. I just ordered the overlays today, so I'm not sure when it will come. But yeah, if you ever need a favor one day, feel free to ask.
