GTR overlay fail
I took Bluebat's gtr overlays to my local tint shop today. This is a reputable place that has been around a while and who did the tints on my windows. Sadly they were unable to install the tail light overlays. They said the material just wasn't laying properly and would have come up. He wasn't comfortable putting his name on this install with how it would have looked. Needless to say I'm very disappointed especially with so many having this job successfully done.

Sorry to hear but imo the gtr overlay as a mod itself is a fail. Just looks so tacky and ugly. Overlay or spray tinted. Ugly is ugly.
I would recommend you to not waste your money and just leave it. Or if you do something, don't do the gtr wanna be overlays.
I don't get why it's even called gtr overlays because even with it installed properly it looks uglier than a gtr lol
Only my opinion of course.

Yeah, I did the overlays, came out good as far as the install but my DIY for painted GTR taillights looks 100x better, actually looks factory when you see it in person. Here's the link if you're interested I can still ship out the cutouts too.

I think I'm just gonna leave it be (stock) for now. Maybe I'll look into painting the tails in the future but being that my car is white, color choice is going to be tough. I think black tails would just look tacky with the white car. Anyway I just ordered Hotchkis sways as a Christmas gift for myself so all is well! Super psyched about this mod!

How much did you get them for? I picked them up used for $300 locally. I seen them going for like $375 new lately

Oh man you are gonna like those sway bars a lot. It was the first thing i did to my G when i bought it. It made my G37S go from a really good handling car to awesome. I never driven a small car like a miata, s2k or brz/frs but my G really handles well and feels like a much smaller car when going around corners and turning

I went stiffest front and rear

Swaybars will not affect ride quality. But set them too stiff and you'll transfer weight (during cornering) abruptly. That could make the G seem skittish on high speed turns. My suggestion is to keep the front bar soft and try the rear bar on medium to get a feel for the increased rotation you'll get from stiffening the rear slightly.

It's a hard enough bump to trigger my dash cam to save the recording because it thinks its a impact.
Usually uneven roads and bumps is where i notice it most. Like driving down a 1 way road and half of the lane you are in is imperfect and bumpy. The sway bar transfers the motion to the other side of the car even though the road is perfect and makes the ride feel a bit bumpy/harsh
