Some Overlays

I installed headlight and fog light overlays on my car and wanted to share pics. I love the new look and it even makes my yellow bulbs seem even more yellow when their on lol.

I installed them with my friend who has tinting/clear bra skills and we honestly really struggled. The material is not near as good as the 3M brand so it makes it difficult to stretch even with a heat gun. Also, we had to cut off some parts that werent supposed to be cut just to make it fit properly. Anyways, I think we did alright.











and 1 more for fun


Comments welcome!

Great Work!
However, my fogs tint already decolor...I think the 6000k aftermarket white bulb lamps (too hot!) causes them to become blood look.
If you change the bulbs, probably you will have same experience as mine.
But it is alright, just take them off if you dont like them heh.

I really hope it doesnt discolor because I was well aware of that problem before I bought this specific material. Im going to be really sad if it starts happening.

Visibility is not a problem at all; signals are clear during the night and day.

The tints were pre-cut and from our vendor Bluebatmobile. I got the pair of headlight tints and the pair of fog light tints for $34 shipped to canada. He has yet to message me back with the total list of available overlays for the 2nd gen tsx.

Did you purchase those overlays or did a tint shop do it for you?

CmTSX: I want to know how dark it is too but the bluebatmobile guy responds to my emails once every month. I asked him this same Q before I even purchased the product and he still hasnt replied.

kowloon: the yellower the better

Lou: I got them from an Acurazine vendor called bluebatmobile. They are precut tint films.

I'm not a fan of overlays but yours look good. If it were me cutting a part off to make it fit I'd have screwed it up for sure, but you guys did a great job.

The turns look sweet. Not sure about the fogs, but a good job none the less.
