Here's a few pics of my car with red overlays that I bought from Bluebatmobile! I haven't seen any dark slate Altima's with red overlays so I thought I'd share them with you. It was my first time installing overlays and it turned out pretty difficult for someone who absolutely have no experience with them. Everything was straight forward though. Used a hairdryer to stretch the vinyl and a credit card wrapped with cloth to use as a squeegee. Everything came out good except some parts of the edges where I used a blade to cut the extra off. My edges came out rough because of the cutting. There are still a few edges I need to redo but I been to busy and lazy to do them but I will soon. nonetheless it came out better than I thought since I never done this before and I like it better than the multi colored taillights.
p.s. It makes it a lot easier if you have someone helping you for example you will be stretching and using the squeegee while the other will be using the hairdryer. I'm glad I had someone help me.
You should try reheating those edges and tucking in the excess under the taillight otherwise with the sun it's going to shrink and look bad. I wrapped mine twice already and currently did a more permanent change by painting them transparent red. Pics should be up somewhere in the forum.
It does need a little clean up but the red looks nice on k50
I'm on the hunt for someone in PA to install my headlight overlays, you did a good job never having done it before.
looks awesome man. Yeah having someone there to help you makes the job easier especially if you have to stretch the vinyl and can't quite do it with a heat gun in one hand.
If I tinted my tail lights, I probably would spray them instead
Best trick is to use the grrove as a guide and trim the edge off and have a gray trim like 4th Gen Maximas. Looks baddass and shows some detail in the lights and looks more OEM.
Did this back in 2008. Did my buddies Dark Slate in 2009 the same way.
I noticed that gray line when I first saw that pic and agree 100% it looks more oem and professionally done.
I cant find anybody that can install my gtr headlight overlays nor my rear valence overlay up here in PA :cry2:
Hey your picture of your black altima with the tint overlays looks real good. Do you have 6/10 or 3/10 tint overlays from bluebat? And once I receive them how hard is it to apply them, is it something I could or anyone could do themselves?
