wow Z looks amazing!

i had the same red outline on my z when i did my own overlay.... when you get the fog... its not noticeable :tup:

If you want just a black look then it's okay, but I like my carbon fiber di noc look more.

I'm going to add more around the edges on newer overlays. Never really had that issue before. Looks great Jordan! Dont forget to post pics after the strips ;).

btw, you need my taillight overlay with the cutout for the clear section ;).

Does it go all the way under the bumper? i noticed it didnt go on on the bottom of the bumper over the exhaust. Also wouldnt putting litle stips make it look weird? ive been doing signs since i was like 8. so im just curious bc i wouldn't atempt this with viynl. ulness it was high performance and even still trying to get every curve in one piece would be the biggest PITA.

yah, it only covers the face of the bumper...thus i went with the CF fang and diffuser for the ultimate wrap around.

but then again, the vinyl looks nice and for most folks that's wat they want.

I just noticed the new EvoR diffuser is the same way on TheZ's car with peeking paint from the rear fog area. :icon14:

Will do -- thanks :tup:

Do you have pics of the taillight overlay?

Hey guys, I got the extra piece of vinyl...

Do you think I should have a piece cut that just covers the whole "buttplug" area?

I wasn't planning on getting the rear fog, and I don't see the point/aesthetic value of having a shiny square of tinted plastic in the center...

What do you guys think?

kenchan 09-07-2010 04:11 PM

i would just cover the red where it's peeking through.

go into the nook around the primeter of the dummy lamp by at least 4-5mm so that you get full coverage. might even suggest using 3-4 separate pieces and butt-end the seams.

The tint place didn't feel confident that they could cut strips to look right :mad:

I'm hoping Bluebat will either send me a replacement vinyl with better fitment or pre-cut a little "frame" or something that will do a better job of covering the red outline...

Sucks... it's a really nice piece, but the fitment could be a little more precise :(

kenchan 09-09-2010 02:00 PM

really? that's werd. it would look better than the peeking red.... they should've at least tried.

but can't you try it yourself? it's not difficult to do. clean the area with rubbing alcohol. make a template using a piece of paper. if you can't make a clean box, just do 4 strips with 45 degree angles like a picture frame.

line up the vinyl's butt-ends and press down. use a squeegee or plastic razor and press down into the nook.

Jordan, check your email ;).
