ohh ok, haha anyway im prolly going to ditch the overlays because of the imperfections you stated. im going to buy 2 cans of nite shades, im going to take out my reflectors, my 3rd brake light, my side markers and my extra set of tails (not the ralliart ones) and im going to bring them to a body shop and get them sprayed and cleared. while thats goin on im going to drop off my head lights at lightwerks in clifton and they are going to hook me up with some black housing!! im amped

I will post you a pic later but I had mine vinyl covered by a pro and turned out mint no bubbles, just wished I had of sanded the part #'s. I've seen one with the painted tint not as good IMO.

yeah. mine was done by a "PRO" also. im going to just drop em off at a body shop with a couple cans of nite shades and clear coats. they should come out mint. if you know how to do work with a rattle can and a buffer, you get some awesome results!

FYI when doing vinyl tint overlays like this, you're supposed to use a soap-water mix in a spray bottle. Spray it on the area then put the vinyl down. Slide it around to get it where you want it, and then use a plastic putty knife or the edge of a credit card to smooth the bubbles out and get all moisture out from underneath. Then you bend the edges in while using a heat gun or hair dryer, making sure you don't cook the paint (hair dryer won't cook paint, but a heat gun too close will).

This is for those wanting to DIY...
