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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
