07 G35 Sedan Tailight Overlay

Okay so i tried buying a regular overlay and putting it on myself but the 07+ model tailights are insanely curvy so its almost impossible to do a clean job.

Does anyone know anyone know any places that can do it professionally near Los Angeles / Pasadena area?

I was contemplating about getting the Bat overlays but for the price of just the overlays it didn't make any sense. I got my clearbra and tails done today and my installer blacked out my tails for $80 with good high quality film.

i did mine with Bats overlays, and when i started doing it i gave up due to the curve then went at it again the next day with a hair dryer and made one cut near the curve and was able to get it on perfect with NO bubbles or anything and the cut is also unnoticeable. I am very happy!

And by the way if you have a hard time with the tails just FORGET about the headlights, that is a real pain in the ...

PM 1slowg35sedan on here. He's very experiences in doing overlay's on our cars and is very reasonably priced... plus, he can come to you to do them. Btw, his name is Tae... tell him Adrian from Team OCG's sent you.

Sorry, 1SlowG35Sedan is his name on MyG37. He's 1SlowSedan on here. His name is Tae and he's one of my team members (Team OCG / Team Outcast). He actually sells overlays and also does installs. Drop him a note and see if he can help you out.

Any pics? Email me to order guys. I'm not on site as much as I'd like anymore. I have a few installers in the LA area as well.
