08+ Tail light overlays....
Anyone else buy these from blue batmobile? My set came in and I'm looking for a shop to install them. I've called 4-5 tint shops in the area and nobody wants to install them.

Shoot, I'm to the point where I'll pay someone who knows how to do them to put them on!

All you need is a spray bottle, soapy water, squeegee, and blow drier. Do a search. I'm sure there is a how to

Yea, I get the concept of it. I've even done simple overlays. The outer taillight portion of the 08+'s are kind of funky and I don't want to risk ruining them and having to buy a second set.

Fair enough. There are definitely some funky shapes. I ended up painting mine...

Exactly what I needed. Thank you! How much did they charge you?

I got my bugeye covers put on by them, say 4 years ago. It was $40-50 but well worth it IMO.

Dropping the car off with them on Saturday. I'll let you all know how it goes. I know the guy who does the overlays for us 08+ doesn't have a local installer for Sacramento so hopefully they come out alright.

Eclipse Evolution is no longer Eclipse - Bobby no longer owns it, though the new kid seems OK.

They still do decent work, but they're pretty steep $$ for "decent".
The are still covering warranty work for old Eclipse installs, which helps, but it's not the unqualified "GO TO ECLIPSE" that it used to be.
