He charged me $125 for labor, I got the overlay elsewhere before I was referred to him. He does sell different kinds of overlays though

He works from his house but he has a pretty large selection of vinyl. Give him a call and if you decide for him to do it, he'll give you his address

I was very satisfied with his work. My TL was the 1st or the second tl he ever did.

I paid $50 for the overlay (purchased from the black market, from someone who was going out of business)
I paid $125 for the labor

called Gerald up that ZhenyaF recommend.

$125 for labor. $100 for the vinyl (dont remember the brand) which he recommend using.

I also ask about group buy/installed for 5 cars and he said $1000. That's 200 bucks per car and he would need to do 1 per day which takes 4 - 5 hours.

i think 225/200 bucks is way too much. but if you have your own vinyl - $125 for the install is decent.

I'm go back to my guy in Bayside and see if he could do a group buy/install.. keep u guys updates.

are you guys really down for this??

i went to my guy in Bayside... he recommend using 3M di-noc CF vinyl and nothing else. comes in many colors like glossy black, etc etc... He will do the install plus the vinyl for $225 for 5 cars. He will warranty it for life. so anything happens just bring it back to him.

anyone down?

And then another $200 to get it back to OEM if you don't like it, and they prob won't be able to match the paint that's been exposed to elements for a few years.
