Gloss Black Roof Overlay Pricing?

Truerocket11 · 10-29-2011, 07:31 PM

Just wondering on how much you guys paid for the overlay. I know bluebatmobile sells them for cheap but i was wondering on how difficult it was to put them on and if it ruins the paint if I were to take it off.

Also, I was asking around local tint shops for a pricing and they are all $200 and above. Their reasoning being that their material is the best and comes with lifetime warranty.

So my main question is...should I just buy from Bluebatmobile or get them done at a shop?

That's funny cause when i asked around about it, the main reason for the price was due to the little "blisters" on either side of the roof.

Truerocket11 · 10-30-2011, 09:18 AM

Yeah they gave me that reason too, so idk if i should just do it on my own or pay the money and get it done.

How much patience do you have, and have you ever done tinting/vinyl work before?

i have a good amount of patience, but as far as tinting experience I have a little. done some decent window tinting with friends, but nothing professional.

Buy it from Bat, find a shop that does the advertising wraps on cars and have them put it on. They are used to the curves of a car and will charge alot less. GL

I have been trying to buy from bat too for the last couple weeks but his website only show prices for 350Z and is hard to communicate with him. :dunno:

Can someone correct me if I'm looking at the wrong link from his website.

sboden · 10-31-2011, 08:48 AM

Paint it

sojirovskensi · 10-31-2011, 09:24 AM

I paid like $350 with 3M matt black overlay.
I think it depends on where you go and what they use but I am very satisfied from their job

MightyBobo · 10-31-2011, 09:29 AM

I think the reasoning they blame their pricing on the product being high quality, is because its a lot easier to say that than say, "The product is cheap, but our labor to put it on is expensive!". heh

I think I'll just end up paying for the shop to do it. 250 doesnt seem too badd, especially when bluebats overlays are $80 and they charging $100 labor. Might as well get the 3M Gloss.

Pay like 250 and look like 2500
