I don't get it, what's the big deal with templates for red overlays?
Since it's red you don't need a template. Just get the rough shape and slap it on. You will never notice the difference when it overlaps.

Maybe I got super lucky with the color I bought but mine is about 1/2 in over the edges and I don't notice at all, and I'm pretty anal about it. I notice the BMW reverse the most because not all of its covered up. Still look VIP though.

Hmm I had no problems. Only thing that happened when I did mine was when you get the the curve it kinda wrinkles. Butttttt if you cut larger than the shape you need you literally can cut out the wrinkle at the edge and still be perfectly fine. You mess up with one that perfectly fits over the clear portion, well then ur shit outa luck. Soapy water + hair dryer is all you need. I could have made 4 overlays with the $7 1'x2' roll I got on eBay.

Well I had a random ass idea come up last night... Take the cheap ass LED's I bought for my Odyssey and put them into the TSX for the time being as a temporary LED lighting solution lol I was face palming so hard at why I didn't think of this earlier....
They look alright and surprisingly enough, actually light up the cabin pretty well lol
They look like this...

After waiting over a month for these dam LED's they FINALLY got here today!!!!sfjhdfbvxjklfdbjklfxdgndeghsjkdhfbgijfd
A lot brighter than I thought too! For $0.99($0.29 for me), they're pretty dam awesome
I might just order a few more to put in the doors and my van LOL
A lot smaller than I had thought....
Compared to OE bulb

Totally half assed this overlay last night in the dark with a lil torch so it looks like shit up close, but at a distance it actually looks alright lol
Did a video on it as well, but I fell asleep and last night and woke up late today and shit so yeah.... LOL
It's not as glossy and you can tell that it's there but I'm not too bothered by it
HQ pics when I get home

how is the red overlay?
is it stretchy vinyl?
is it sticky like a sticker?
ive been looking to pick some up but can never tell if its like actual vinyl overlay thats like a sticker or like window tint which is a pain to work with on curves.
i agree with ^^.
wrap the chrome trim.
if your beak is wrapped in CF, wrap that in CF.
it not, get some gloss white vinyl and wrap imo.

I actually like the chrome bar though
and as I said... HQ pics! And a half assed install lol Gonna re do them tomorrow since I spent the day pissing on my fogs
They actually look better in daylight. Not as noticeable as it was in the dark with a torch shining at it I say it matches pretty well
