rear taillight overlay recommendation??!

Hey all,

I have Bat's rear taillight overlays. I already attempted to put them on and simply don't have the patience for it. Not to mention that one of them is already messed up as a result of my attempt. But I still have the other overlay and the template for the one I messed up.

Does anyone know of a shop that can put these damn things on for me? I live in West LA and I've been calling around and no one will do it. Not even California Tint!

Recommendations please!

I believe that if you get the GTRs with the cutouts, you'll be fine. The law states that you can't have anything impeding the brake/taillights. The GTRs have the cutouts, so it should be ok. That said, if a cop wants to pull you over, there are 20000+ vehicle codes, so you're SOL even if you have a STOCK car. At least this is what my cop friends tell me

Just a follow up. I just got back from having my rear window retinted and the Bat overlays put on. Went to Santa Monica Car Sound.

1453 Lincoln Blvd
Santa Monica, CA 90401

For anyone on the Westside, these people were very friendly (guy and I were talking about how to make fiberglass boxes while he was doing my tint) and decently priced. It's not going to be as cheap as California Tint, but they did a great job!! Ask for Denny.

the gtr overlays still cover part of the lights......unless you have the new version like andrew which andy has not yet released (that i know of)....

a cop would have to be really picky to give you **** about that but they are still illegal because of this, nonetheless
