I was able to get them on with no air bubbles, just where I had to cut off the excess doesn't look the best. I should have used a brand new razorblade instead of a barely used one. Oh well, next time will be better.

quick question about taillight overlays.
With this overlay.....:
it obviously covers the turn signal. can you still see the flashing? i want that overlay but im worried i'll get pulled over because you cant see my lights flashing.
and has anyone put the bumper overlay on a Flint Mica?

I'm not sure about it but they prob. would look like these.
Or you could get the full overlay and add the turn signals to the unused portion of the tbl, like a guy did on scikotics.
The thread on it is here: http://www.scikotics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=45718
On mine the overlay covered up my reverse lights so I moved them to the tbl, just like superwhite06 did in that same thread.

Yes, it's cut about a 1/4 inch above the turn signal line, so you'll be able to see it just like in that second pic above. And with the lighter color overlays (and even some darker ones), you can still see the signals at night through them.

Well finally got my overlays installed. Got the yellow OEM fog light overlays and the TBL redout overlay. Pics are below. Yes I know my car is dirty but I just used it for a move, she will get washed this week!
..you can see here that I trimmed around the chrome/plastic edging bc it sort of gives it a reflective "halo" at night
TBL:
...and my custom tC cutout that I cut into the TBL. I haven't taken a picture of this at night yet but I think it is a cool mod and I haven't seen anyone else with it...
For some reason my other picture won't upload right now but it is a full angle shot of the TBL with the tC cutout.
Hope you guys like it! Ill post a night shot later.

Thanks!
Nah, just the OEM one for now.. full TBL is definitely an upcoming purchase.
After viewing the tC cutout I did at night, the redout isn't really dark enough to give it the effect I wanted - so when I get the full TBL I will prob do a dark overlay and cutout the tC again so that when lit it really shows the tC - it is a little visible now, but definitely looks better during the day...actually, i may just rip this one off and get the dark smoke TBL overlay now and start again. What do you think?

It's really not that hard. You just gotta take your time during the install. Make sure you dry fit them before hand to get an idea of how you're gonna going to set them on the lights. Patience is everything. Just take your time and it wont be very hard. 
Nicely done! Finally, some pics for my Gallery ;).
