finally put red tail light overlays on!

yay! i finally finished. 2.5 hours of nonstop stretching and finger-burning. -.-
however did save myself a good $80 to get them professionally installed..but i think i did an okay job. just need to fix the right one a bit more..

these are the blue batmobile overlays with the cutouts. had to get rid of the clear ricer lights.

where did you guys get yours done?

haha put them on! i was scared too but it really isn't that hard! patienceee and stretching will be needed. the first one i didn't stretch so that was my bad but the 2nd one came out perfectly. remove your tail lights too, it'll be MUCH easier (: you'll also save yourself a few bucks

its just those 2 bolts you see when you open up the trunk, remove those then pop it out and unplug the wire.

if you want you can buy a roll of random tint at kragens and practice putting it on. i was gonna do that but i was too excited when it came in so i just wing'd it. hah.

you don't want it to turn out like this

might be able to help you out, depending where you're at but I've got finals and group projects for the next few weeks.
It isn't that hard, just take off the tails and take your time. A spray bottle of soapy water + blow dryer will make life easier too.
