wow, it was a lot harder than i had expected... i also had a problem with the rear sidemarkers, it seems the overlays were not big enough so it didnt really cover the whole thing.
and then when i did my tails, it was a b1tch getting around the curvy area near the top corner. still got a lot of bubbles here and there, i tried using a needle to pop them and flatten them but half the time it ended up looking worse. anyway a snapped a few pics before the batteries died on me.
heres the good:
and a little bit of the bad:
im not satisfied with the edges. did anyone else get frilly edges? even if i put heat on it and stretched them out to fit as flat as possible, it still wouldnt work very well.
no pics of the rear red markers but they look pretty bad when looking at it from less than 5 feet away.
anyway, imo someone as clumsy and accident prone as i am should probably think twice about doing this yourself...

Blue Bat.....i got an interesting question/suggestion....hoping its doable
Could you make these with the side markers covered as well....either with paint or smoked....The eyelid part would be good doubled layered, so no light comes through but Single layered on the side markers, i have a red led that i would like to be able to shine through.....could it be done ?? How much?? sorry for the crappy paint rendition....thanks!!!
