you should be able to do it yourself

all you need is soap, water and then take the air bubbles out

i put on the bats rear valence and it was pretty easy..

yeah, i could do it myself. i have read enough directions. but i am afraid i will mess up because i dont have patience!! lol, i have read it takes a long while to put em on.

so instead of wasting money on re-order, i wud much rather spend it on a professional clean looking install..

so now back to my original Q ... what is the best place to get this overlay install done guys!

Here's mine with 30% front and 40% rear side and back Huper Optiks done by Sidney at Auto Mall 510-659-8468.
Hupers are one of the most difficult films to install, being it's ceramic, thicker film than most and our back window is curved a bit. He did a flawless job.
You could ask SuperDDS here too. He recommended them to me in the first place and think lives somewhere close to you.








And Bats overlays I had in the past. Not running with them now, except still running with his GTR 3rd brake light and smoked corners.
Did the install myself with lots of time, patience, soapy water and heatgun (blow drier).






Hoped this all helped.
BTW...Merry Christmas everyone.
