just installed headlight overlays (PICS!!)
 
got them from BlueBatmobile!! Not that easy of an install. Takes some skill. I got a few creases that i will hopefully be able to squeeze out. Nice work Bat!! I got the Headlight overlays and the smoked side markers.

wow that does look good. DO they make the in Azure Pearl?

I got mine on nulime.com and they were about 39.50 shipped. They come in a gloss black and they are paintable. If you have a BSP tc then youre set with these. you wouldnt need to paint them. I bought some car spray paint that matched flint mica pretty well (Charcoal metallic) and painted them and clear coated them. They are really good quality polyurethane and they arent a tint film/sticker. They are thick, flexible and laser cut. Really nice. Cheaper than eBay on this one.

I think the eyelids look a lot better on the lighter color tcs. They dont stand out as much on the bsp and flint mica IMO.

I put the same ones on my bsp. i personally met Andy since he lives 20 mins away from me.. It was a pretty simple install. I started from the corner, and used a card, wrapped in a clothe. to remove the creases, get a thin needle and poke them and just press on them with a hairdryer.. worked for me.

i miss them =X but the cf eyelids are better.

not at all, let me know if you want the hi res's

Nmbr848 02-28-2006 12:31 AM

Shoe_Here, are the eyelids thick and rigid or are they just a thin layer of tint? On a scale of 1 to 10 how hard would you say these are to install?

Shoe_Here 02-28-2006 12:40 AM

they are thin. very strong though. i took them off and on to straighten and they didn't rip whatso ever. they are rated for at least 7 years. the install does take time. to straigten them and get all kinks out. The second one i did was much easier. probably like a 6 out of 10 install. the smoked side markers were VERY EASY to install.

Nmbr848 02-28-2006 12:42 AM

cool thanks for the response

StevieSoFly 02-28-2006 02:43 AM

I did my overlays this weekend too (got them from Bat as well), didn't have a chance to take too many pics though, will take more soon. I did 3rd break light, mirror turn signals, and headlight overlays.

(not me in the pic, had the girlfriend help for that female touch :silly: )

How close is the white color to the Super White? On blue batmobile's site, the color looks not close at all, but on your pictures it looks the same.

I gott say the yellow rockblocker looks great on the fm with bats ovrlys top bottom. the yellow is a great contrast and bats overlays look good but imo get a second pair of hands and patience for the top overlay their tricky. thx bat, we'll talk some more.
