Here's some pics of the headlight overlays I installed on my Altima. They look awesome!!! Of course, I didn't listen to you guys when you said not to put the taillight overlays on yourself. So yep, I f**ked it up and have to order more from Bat.
Overlays installed
Re: Overlays installed (salty935)
ive been waiting for a nice day to put the eyelids i got from Bat on my black sedan.....they look nice on yours....i cant wait.
was it hard to put these on? any advise? also did you have to end up folding some around the inside of the headlight under the hood, or cutting some off?

The headlight overlays weren't hard to put on at all but it did take time and patience. Here's a quick run down of how I did it and it helps to have an extra pair of hands:
1. Clean the headlight then wet it down with either soapy water or Windex2. Peel the vinyl from the backing and place it on the headlight. 3. Then if you have enough water, you should be able to move and adjust it to exactly where you want it.4. Then I used my driver's license to slowly and carefully push all the water out from under the vinyl. It helps to do it in the sun so you can see all the bubbles and get them out.5. There will be excess vinyl that will wrap around the inside of the headlight. I chose to cut this. I just wrapped it around and whenever the vinyl got dry enough that it wasn't moving around, I used a razor to trim it.6. Then just one final wipe to get all your fingerprints off and Voala!
Easy enough. Took me about 30-45 minutes total for a novice

Re: (novs25)
my rear gtr style didn't fit also i believe i got coupe ones too, they were totally different shape. but since i messed up the front gtrs trying to install them myself i said screw it and tossed them in trash. the ones that have to fit around curved surface should be installed by a pro since they come as a flat piece of vinyl.
i think if i would reorder, i'd just get the black eye lids like salty has.
