I'm installing BlueBatmobile's tailight overlays this weekend. Any tips for a good install? What would you do differently if you had to do over?

yes, get someone that knows what they are ding to do it for you!!! Evary car I've seen that have done it themselves ended up with bubbles in it. Its a long tedious process to do it correctly, full of minute strecthing, heating, pulling, smoothing. I would say for a first timer to do it CORRECTLY and FLAWLESSLY.... maybe 3-4 hours! Even for Bluebatmobile's installer who has done dozens of these, it takes him 2 hours to do it right! I HIGHLY advise you to get someone else to do it! Just my .02 The thing is, the curves on the lights are a beyotch, and it takes A LOT of patience to do this correctly.. Just ask Eduardo ...lol
