Willing to Pay - Taillight overlay install

I just got my bluebatmobile taillight overlays in for my '13 WRX hatch :banana: and it seems like a more tedious task than I am capable of undertaking . The attention span needed to overcome this seemingly daunting task has intimidated the crap out of me . If anyone has done it before and is willing to conquer this feet for me I am willing to pay. Just name your price a long with a place/time. If you want, it can be done at my house but it is entirely up to you.

Thanks for the heads up. I can't wait for them to be on, I just can't build up the mindset needed to get it done. Someone. Anyone. Please help!!!

Just called Al's and set up an appointment for tomorrow morning. They quoted me $50. Thanks for the advice!
$50 is worth it to me being that the overlays were $45 so it is about the same price to have them do it as it would be if I messed up and had to buy another set.

I honestly don't know what to think about how they came out. I mean, it is the exact look that I wanted but Al's tinting MESSED UP! The vinyl on my driver's side brake light looked to have been trimmed too much. I noticed it before I left but thought that it was just the OCD in me. But when I got home a half an hour ago, I went to look at it again and now they are coming off where it was trimmed. I honestly am pretty pissed. The guy that posted that he was having them done today too was there. I can only imagine how his came out seeing as they did his first.
On top of that, I had an appointment for 9 am and they didn't even start on it until 10:30. I'm gonna call them in the morning to see what they're planning on doing to ratify the situation. I'll keep you posted. Man of all the mods I had planned, this was the one I was looking forward to the most!

If u decide to go to als, just buy the red vinyl by the sheet and he will cut it. As you see our responses, he does do some trimming even though the shape is there. He did recommend that instead of the precuts, just bring him the vinyl by the sheet.

Nonetheless besides the over trim, the quality of the work done was pretty good.

Sorry about that. Don't get me wrong, I'm not writing them off as a bad company just disappointed as I too tried to install my first set on my own. I think I could have done it the second time but I figured having a pro do it would just be less painful.

Damn, I wish I would've known about he sheet deal. I bought the precut and I think that's what erked me as well. It took almost two weeks for it to come in so now I'm gonna have to wait 2 more weeks for another set AND install time.
