Hehe... If you pay his travel expenses, he just might.

I'm with you on this too, Brian... Have gone back and forth on the rear tail light tinting / overlays, and I think I've finally decided to take my factory tailights to Mike @ Clearcorners and see what he can do with them.

Nope no bubbles or creases. After I got the tint done...I left it out in the sun all day to "cure" so the film would set and any small imperfections would work themselves out and I have to say it must have worked because its flawless.

I've done a few of these applications using Bat's overlays. I'd say that the overlays in the pic above are probably the easier to install, since the dont have cutouts. One solid piece can be heated, molded and stretched into place. The cutouts add a whole new level to the complexity. You still heat and mold, but every time you stretch the film, you need to be sure you are not disturbing the edge of the cutout, or the end result is less than desirable.

The install is not too bad but you need a s-load of patience in order to get them right.
I didn't want to install my own, but local shops all said the same thing... "I'll try it but I can't guarantee perfect results".
I wasn't about to drop $100 to watch someone ruin $50 worth of overlays when I could do it at home for free.

I got lucky.. they went on perfectly.

well i think the shops were quoting me 95-125 ish for installs + their own film. Hopefully i can find someone who can do it for cheaper. I tried doing em myself but the curves on the lights just owned me aha

Just sent you a PM with his number. Try giving him a call... that's the easiest way to get a hold of him.

Yeah, I just talked to him yesterday and he told me the same thing... Apparently he just doesn't have the time for it anymore.

Try calling Sean at Ultimate Shield in Orange, CA. I believe that they can install them. His number is 714-412-4851. Let him know that Adrian with Team OCG's sent you and he should give you a decent price to do it.

Some of my installers charge 40-60.
