wow Z looks amazing!

simota1 · 08-31-2010, 08:58 PM

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

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

Bluebatmobile · 09-01-2010, 05:10 PM

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.

kenchan · 09-03-2010, 02:25 PM

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.

kenchan · 09-03-2010, 07:03 PM

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

Will do -- thanks

Do you have pics of the taillight overlay?

Jordo! · 09-07-2010, 04:04 PM

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.

Jordo! · 09-09-2010, 01:09 PM

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

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.
