Anyone else hate overlays?
I forgot how much of a pain in the *** overlays were to get on perfect. I'm happy with how I applied them on the G37, but it's not perfect and it bugs me! There's some gaps in some places, and I've tried bats and lamin-x and am still not happy. I'm also not happy with the gloss level of any overlays. lol. Maybe I'm just too picky, but I called up my body shop and they'll be professionally tinting the lights. Just thought I'd rant and see if anyone else feels the same.
Don't get me wrong BlueBat and Lamin-X make quality products! It just sucks not to have them look perfect.

He's a family friend so he's not charging me anything, but I can ask him how much he'll charge to do it when I pass by there this week. He did all the work on my mazda and I won't trust any shop but his. He does amazing work, especially custom.

I had my overlays on, and I basically said what you just said. SO, i went the route you are going to go, got my headlights painted and tails tinted. Results are here:

I'm in love with how things turned out! MUCH BETTER. I think you'll be happy with your choice.

Alright guys I got my tail lights smoked by the shop today, and they came out sick!!! They look much better than the overlays and I'm really happy with the outcome! Whoever is interested in smoking their lights in the Miami area pm me, and I'll give you the number of the shop so he can give you a quote.
