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 ...

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.
