Hey, I just recently picked up a set of overlays from bluebat, but anyways, i'm looking for a good tint shop in the San Jose area that could install them.

For you 08/09 guys, do you have any experiences with various shops around the South Bay and their overlay installs?

 

Got mine done @ omega tintwerks in Pleasanton after he tinted my windows
took Vince 1 hr to install the overlay

 

I have an 04 and I did the overlays myself, it wasn't that hard, I can help you if you want.

You only need:
Patience
Soapy water
Credit card
Hair dryer

If you remove the tail lights they're WAY easier to install. There's actually a video of the install for 08-09s on youtube and I think they do it in like 10 minutes flat.

 

Going to have vince do mine hopefully on Tuesday when my buddies drop of their cars for window tint.

 

vince should be able to do your overlays nicely. bluebat has been making overlays for a long time now for the celicas so I'm sure those are good to go. I personally painted mine and made the 08/09's look a lot better.

 

It doesn't seem to hard to do them on the 08/09 tails. Certainly doesn't seem as difficult as the bugeye headlights. I had to pay mulah to get that done. I had it done in SJ from Mr. Tint. Look them up.

But I still think you should do it yourself unless you feel really uncomfortable doing it.

 

Yeah, I dont feel comfortable doing it hahha, did Mr. Tint do a good job on them?

 

I ended up not bringing my car into vince's shop to do the tail overlay install. I got bored after work so I installed it myself. Like others have said, it isn't that hard to do as long as you take your time and not rush yourself, you'll be fine.
