Overlay install quality - Experts needed

All,

I had a shop installed my Bluebat's GT-R overlay yesterday and although I love the look, im not too fond of the quality of the install. Please let me know if the bubbles will go away or it was a bad installation?

Please see pictures below

Should I talk to the shop and have them fix this somehow? I forgot to mention in the 1st post that I did not do this myself.

There's so much a shop can do now. After the vinyl sticks and gets exposed to sun etc it's pretty much game over. Sorry to say that again.

Are they visible from far? You're probably better off without them..

Simply pop them with a needle and let the car sit in the sun. They will go away .

Lol Sam, he asked how to fix it and NOT ur opinion about overlays.

OP, use a needle to poke/pull the air out and let the sun do the rest. I have no bubbles on my overlays at all. Can't even see the pokes anymore.

I have bubbles and my installer was BS.
I didn't go ask them to fix it because I didn't even want them to touch my car ever again.

i only had like 2 or 3 bubbles when my installer did mine, he did a good job. he took about 4 hours to install them too, very meticulous to detail. how long did your install take?

he also told me to poke small holes on them, push them down, and leave them in the sun to minimize them. it should get better.
