Thanks Browndogg for the kind words. As we talked about I have the same film that Bluebat does and I wont use for such things as full tail light and headlights on the tC due to the lack of ability to get it smooth and even unlike our main product which is the 20 mil high impact resistant light protection.

We like both products and will continue to carry both of them. But use them for what they are best at and easiest for the consumer to install with.

Blue bats are way thinner and they tear really easy. Rock blockers were alot thicker and better quality. He smoked my head lights and tail lights and they came out so well that I cant even tell they are over lays.

On every single car that I have seen that has blue bats, they fold over themselves or dont lay down right on the edges and corners. Rock blockers went on really smoothly.

I would HIGHLY recommend rock blockers product over blue bats any day and the only reason I say that is because Ive owned both of their products now and Chads (Rockblocker) is just a better product.
I'm sorry you were not happy with my product. If you had a fitment issue, many of my customers know I'm always glad to help out. I have many satisfied customers who sport my stuff. In the end, I'm glad you found something that you are happy with

regards,

I would definitely recommend going with BlueBat's stuff. I've had his products on my car for about a year now. I've switched the styles of my tails several times now, and i'm about to do it again in about a week. He has great products and he's a great guy to deal with overall. =]

Thanks Bat!

Here's a thread I started showing BlueBat's stuff.
https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...117&highlight=

and here's some pics of my friend's car with Bat's 6/10 tint on his headlights. I'm assuming this is what you want?

Bluebats 6/10 Tint Smoked headlight overlays and 6/10 Tint Smoked foglights




and then another..

I'd just like to step in and say that blue bat mobile's owner Andy, is a great guy, and more importantly his products are good as well. I've met with him just today and found that dealing with him is comftorable and ez. His decals and overlays are a great quality and look. I will vouch for him and his products any day.

Everyone, Dont get me wrong, I loved my bluebat overlays when i had them. but once I switched, I found that rock blockers product is much thicker and is just much easier to put on and easier to deal with as a whole.

My vote is with BlueBatmobile. Andy is a great guy and i'v never had problems with any of his products. Andy has always been helpful, and is always down to try new ideas i've told him about. To me, customer service is something worth more than money.

Now be honest would you go with Bat if you had to pay or just got you got them for free?? We know you asked us and unfortunately we are full on sponsorships and I had to turn you down. So be honest when you answer that question. Good luck to you and glad you are getting smoked. If you need anything please let us know how we can help.

I have known RockBlocker for a long time now and I can honestly say he is the only way to go in Phoenix. His quality is second to none and he trully cares about you as a customer and almost always, you end up becoming a friend of his! He doesn't need people to come on here and praise him, but as friends and loyal customers...that's what we do!!!

If you have ever been to Phoenix, you know our highways are littered with tons of trash and rocks. As well as we are a desert... ...duh, I know, but that means we have a huge amount of rocks, yes I am trying to get the point across that I have had my windshield replaced for the third time this year already, flying every which way but off the road!!! In turn, means a ton of broken headlights, paint chips, etc. and I don't know a single person in town that doesn't have RockBlocker's product on their car!!! It is the only way to go!!! We have tons of options for protection around the valley, but everyone in the Scion community, along with Subaru, Mazda, Charger, FJ Cruiser, Exotic, etc. (the list goes on and on) go to RockBlocker!!!

Yeah, Bat's may give you the same look and be a couple bucks cheaper, but you won't get near the protection you will get from RockBlocker's!!! That is not my opinion, that is just a straight up fact!!! No ifs, ands or buts about it!!! In my best Forest Gump voice.....my momma always told me you pay for what you get!!!

So, here is my opinion part...if you want cheaper and good, but not great....then yeah go with Bat, but if you want great....there is only one obvious choice...RockBlocker!!!

i am paying for them, and after seeing his retail prices vrs your retail prices, yes, i would have gone with him.

in a market where i cant touch the product before i buy it, price means more to me then what people say. its not that hard to make a second user name to support your own product. im not saying you do this, just it could be done.

but i will deff post pics and a review of all of bats products as soon as i get them in.

WOW!!! If you aren't saying it, then why did you bring it up. I think that is pretty low to even bring something like that up. And what does that have to do with the cost of the product, which is what you said was your determining factor?

You know what??? If you want to go with price over quality, then so be it....just don't be upset if your headlight takes a rock and cracks, knowing if you had spent the extra ten or so dollars if wouldn't have happened. It may look as good, but looks aren't everything....another fun one for you....

Don't judge a book by it's cover!!!

I am still amazed at your comment. If you weren't thinking it, why did you even say it!!! No bueno senor!!!

I have to jump in here and voice my opinion on this.... I personally know Chad aka..Rockblocker....and Kyle...aka Koolaid.... They are both good friends of mine and They are two different people on here and with your comment I feel as if you are sorta of accusing Rockblocker of making a 2nd user name to support his product. even though your not saying he did and that it could be done but if you weren't thinking that you wouldn't of posted it. That is not the case. We have a very tight group here in phoenix and we support one another when we can. Kyle came on here to voice his opinon.

I personally have Rockblocker products on my car and I wouldn't go with anything else. But that is just me because I am really happy with the product. I have not seen any of Blue Bats products personally but from my understanding of what I have heard and seen people post on ScionLife is that they are just overlays (basically colored tint) and don't provide a protection. Now I am not saying his product isn't good. If you are wanting that smoked look or whater i'm sure it will work fine and looks good. But when it comes to protection I have no idea if it does that at all.

I am glad that I went with Rockblockers Clear bra and Light protection because just as Koolaid mentioned here in Phoenix we have a lot of rocks and debre on the roads here. I have so many rock chips on my car (window, roof, window pillars, etc...), I've also had to replace my windshield as well. But where the clear bra is....No chips what so ever. I've also had some nice road debre hit the front of my car many of times (example....blown raidial tires that people run over and throw up as they drive over it) and no scratches what so ever to the Rockblocker.

I guess it all comes down to what you want....just an overlay or protection. Blue Bat's overlays will give you that great look and Rockblocker will give you that great look and protection....

Yeah I cant believe it either Koolaid. Orange your comments and post are kind of funny to be totally honest. You claim you are paying for the products, but your sig says sponsored by Bluebat?? Now what sense does that make? None to tell you the truth since you were wanting free product from us. So I know you hit up Bat as well. You are not gonna hit up one and not the other. Dont hate cause we turned you down.

Sure his retail price is cheaper and so is ours for the same quality of product. But when you compare a 7 mil vinyl sticker to a 20 mil high impact resistant plastic. Do you really think the price should be the same?? Our tC headlight in 7 mil is $29.95. 20 mil (almost three times thicker) for $49.95.

Now as for your comment on making up a user. lets see. Why doesnt everyone check Koolaid's posts, how long he has been a member and what he posts about.

Then compare the same way with a new poster on here called G35pinoy. He has made a total of 5 posts and everyone is about Bat something looks off more so than Koolaid who is just a customer of ours and spoke his mind.

As a user that has never seen either product sure price comes in to play, so does the quality, the thickness, craftsmanship and other peoples perception of the products you are looking at otherwise you wouldnt of even posted and asked for others opinion.

If cost is the only thing you care about then so be it. Thats on you and you get what you pay for, but dont come on here and make accusations that I made up a fake account.
