roof overlay or not?

With the weather warming up, I'm finally looking into getting tints and overlays done. I've decided on the GTR front and tail lights for my PG but I can't seem to make up my mind on the roof and rear valence. What do you guys think?

Also, if any PG owner out there has the roof or rear valence with pics, I'd definitely appreciate it. Thanks!

PG owner here. I am ordering them as we speak. I'm going to take a day off when they come in to install them. I will post some pics after they are done.

Sorry, I don't have it yet. I'm looking to get it from Bat. If he can install them for me (including the roof overlay) then I'll probably make the drive to his place. Do you have a PG as well? What do you think about the rear valence?

rear valence is more important than the roof - especially if you get the blackout for the chrome strip spoiler- it completes the rear look. imo

Pardon the ignorance, but I'm curious. What are these overlays your are discussing. They sound interesting? ANy links, pics or info on them?

sorry, just came across the "batman" as soon as I posted. Had never seen this stuff before this post. Pretty cool. Looks good on a black, silver and even a red car, but am having a problem envisioning it on an Athens Blue. Anyone in the forum have a AB that has done the roof, or rear spoiler overlay?

That's true but I have a spoiler, so no chrome piece. The last thing I'm debating on is the rear valence. From Bat's site, the overlay looks like a matte black finish, not sure if that'll carry the shine very well. If it's matte black, I probably won't get it.

I think someone has an AB with overlays, just browse around the threads and it's in his profile pic/sig.




So aside from the undecided rear valence overlay, I'm looking to get head lights, tail lights, third brake light, and roof, which is pretty much all the overlays Bat offers for G37!! Bat, if you read this, can I get a discount?

I only think IP looks good with overlay. Red would probably look decent, possibly even AB but deffinately not Slate or Silvers. imo.

If he did a carbon overlay for the roof, I could see a Siebon carbon hood and trunk with the roof overlay in carbon looking decent, but again. It all depends on ones taste
