Well im going down to meet up with Bluebat soon so im creating this thread to see what you guys are interested in so we can do the mock ups with my car. So far on my list is the black overlays for the roof, fog lights, headlights, taillights, front fog light housing, front lower bumper, back lower bumper, and some interior pieces i have in mind.

Here is a concept i thought up of and prolly make this happen when i meet up with BlueBat. im really digging the fog light housing overlay, make it almost like a HFP kit. What are you thoughts?

Here is the link to his site for the overlays that he have created so far.

I'd love to see blackened fog light housing.

I like the smoked headlights and yellow fog lights. Leave the housing the original color.
Actually I'd just smoke the headlights and leave it as that. Why not just get HID (3k?) fog lights (assuming you haven't already)?

well i have 2K HIDs in the fog lights but you can only tell when they are on. Just a simple overlay for the fog lights will make the front glass of it appear yellow. Just different thats all.

but feel free to shoot me any ideas you guys come up with. im at work right now so i can do any concepts but if you guys let me know your ideas i can create something when i get home so when i get down there ill have a list of things to get started on to save time. :thmsup:

bruceleroy, how many shots do you take for your HDR photos?:notworthy

bruceleroy, how many shots do you take for your HDR photos?

normal people take 3 (-2,0,+2) i take 5 (-2,-1,0,+1,+2), i feel its has more contrast.

looks nice as do all your pics...

how about blackening the chrome on the sides of the girlle...not the outside rim, but the diamond shape of chrome on the inside of both the right and left sides? does that make ANY sense lol?

Man, it took me awhile to catch what you did there.
Looks great that way. Might be different on different colored cars though.

yea its minor but some people might like it

is bat making overlays for the sedan tails also?

see what he can do for the sedan's roof, I really want an overlay :D - and I think yellow fogs, and the black foglight housings look good, not the lower bumper lip - those only look good on the 8th gen civic

is bat making overlays for the sedan tails also?

yes he would but i dont have a sedan haha. im working on some rear end overlays for the coupe right now

very nice concepts :)

I like the tails with the reverse tinted and not black. Any idea how much?
On the fog lights, they get really hot, will this stuff melt on them?

I emailed that guy a while ago about taillight tints for the coupe .. he said he needed a test car .. if you can help him get some tints out soon, that would be awesome!

check the link on my first post, prices should be similar. and he has done fog light overlays before so i dont think its a problem.

yea he is calling me this thursday to set up a date, we might be doing it this weekend i will keep you guys posted.

like this?

Sorta... but without the red section of the taillights tinted. The picture you did has the whole taillight tinted rather than just the reverse section. I'm just comparing it with your original image to find the differences.

o so you mean just the reverse smoked and leave the rest alone

i believe we are planning it for this weekend since im free. i will keep you updated

IMO don't do reverse tail light tint................because i already did it :D

Put me down for the blackened foglights, they look hot!!! I'm installing my fogs in 2 weeks so hopefully they should be done by then.

any interior pieces you guys have in mind? i was thinking redding out the H on the steering wheel.

alright i am meeting up with Bat Sunday morning to get this done :)

black roof overlay!

Darker Rear Lights Smoked W/ Reverse Cut Out :notworthy
That looks sick!!!
A Black roof overlay would be nice too!!

please go rent a sedan and get a roof overlay done for us :D

Can u do do one with the chrome trimming around the grille as body color but leave the "H" as is chrome? Thanks!!!!!

i dont think bat does body color overlays.

huh? you mean just painting the grill the same color as the car? just search there are tons of those pictures laying around.

i dont think bat does body color overlays.

yea he does, well he does for at least infinity cars

oh, i thought he always did the basics like black,red,smoke, carbon fiber, ect ect

oh, i thought he always did the basics like black,red,smoke, carbon fiber, ect ect

he does eyelids also so that has to match the car

Id be in for front and rear H overlays in PMM for a coupe for sure! I was thinking of strip and paint but this is better.

once he gets the measurements he can make the H any color.

Good deal, put me down for a set of full tail light overlays and the front and rear emblems in PMM for a coupe please.

:lmao:

does that mean you will?? bruce how bout you just talk to him for me about a sedan black roof overlay - :thmsup: and his plans on it

ill ask him if he wants to do the sedan, he prolly would and would need a donar car also and since your in OC and if your willing to drive down to SD you will do fine. ill keep you updated.

thank you sir :salue:

So i met up with BlueBat this weekend and knocked out alot of the overlay templates. He needs to refine them and send them over to me for fitting which should be in about a week. Keep you guys updated.

you doing the roof man?

yup im doing it in gloss black, he also has matte black and a good carbon fiber material available.

he is gonna need testers for the items that i am not testing and they will get a special discount when they send pictures of the product on there car back to him for his website. I will keep you guys posted on the items that i will not be testing so let you know how much discount he can give you, i am still working with him to get the final details ready.

I really want to see what a black gloss roof looks like on PMM...Keep us posted!

same here ;)

I feel you should get them for free rather than a special discount, lol. You're helping him market a new product basically and he'll get much more back in return in the near future.

I approached him almost a year back for the vinyl on the reverse light and he offered a freebie if I was to send back the outline. Never ended up doing it as I never got around to it unfortunately. :(

im getting them for free since i did the templates for him. im talking about for people who are ordering the items that are not tested on my car for example carbon fiber roof. If someone buys the carbon fiber roof from him for full price then sends him pictures of the product on the car he will refund back a discount to them. i hope that makes sense.

I would be interested in a black piece for the roof like he does for the civics

:thmsup:

gottcha, they will be on sale once i do the final fitting test

How did it go? Did you get it yet??

he got all the measurements and will be sending me the templates soon. Once i get them ill put them on for finalizing and he will start selling them.

How do they go on?

its Vinyl so it goes on like tint

Does a professional need to install it? If so who? I tint guy?

you can do it yourself if you like or have it professionally installed. im going the pro way because i dont want to mess up.

find a shop that does clear bras because if they can do clear bras they can do this.

put me down for fogs and the roof.

Bruce, can you photo shop my fogs with yellow overlay?

^ Thanks Bruce.....

Just checking to see if they are ready yet. I have a brand new bodyshop here that will do almost everything half off and I was wondering the price of the roof overlay before I contemplate a painted roof...
Thanks

i believe the roof overlay is around $70 not totally sure but thats the prices he has for the other cars. If you can get your roof painted for around $70 then do it but i highly doubt it.

Bodyshops around here at least charges around $500

i want to do the rear tailights with the reverse cut out.. looks sick

Hey Bruce sorry for being impatient but i'm really excited about these, can we get an update on how things are coming along?

Question on the roof overlay. Will it also cover the satellite antenna?

Hey Bruce sorry for being impatient but i'm really excited about these, can we get an update on how things are coming along?

he just told me he was swamped with work so one more week. sorry for the delay.

Question on the roof overlay. Will it also cover the satellite antenna?

the roof overlay will not cover the antenna, since its too complex. He said he might supply just a large sheet so you can cover it yourself or just paint it. i might just leave mines alone since its pretty dark already.

thank you sir :salue:

he is interested check your PM

Is there any updates on this yet? Im interested in the smoked headlights w/ cutouts, smoked tail lights with cutouts, and the yellow fogs. Too bad i hav black and the rest of the stuff wont make a difference... wish i had PMM. BTW do u guys think the yellow fogs will look good on black?

i think quite a few people on this forum have yellow fogs including myself.. not hids though, 2500k nokya hyper yellow lol

bruceleroy, how much does that guy charge for the smoked tail lights? i just got my done this week and i live in So. Cal.. it was done in a small tint shop near Alamo Car wash if you know where that is and it costed me $75

Here's the thing about bluebatmobile's vinyl overlays. They are vinyl overlays as opposed to glued tint. These adhere by just the natural stickiness of the vinyl itself, without any glue. Typically these can be taken off after time and not cause damage to your lights, whereas tint film will not peel off clean, and will be permanent.

i might be installing it this weekend, ill keep you guys updated when i do

Im so anxious to see how it turned out! Your doing the roof black right??

yup

Any updates on price and when it will be available?

Hey Bruce, you get these things installed yet? :D

sorry i didnt keep you guys updated but he already got all the cuts done but i couldnt install it this week because of the heavy rain we are having, gotta wait till its sunny skys. Sorry for the delay, stupid weather.

i have a set of blue's overlays on my TL. :thmsup:

:thmsup:

yea sorry for the delay its still raining over here, cant put on overlays till suns out for a better result. damn mother nature :D

tinting taillights is definitley next priority on mine.. ill be anxious to see yours :thmsup:

i have a set of blue's overlays on my TL. :thmsup:

Pics???

i demand an update

still raining over here cant do it till its sunny sorry for the delay. once its sunny ill jump on it asap

Dang Bruce. You should get on the road, and come install them on my car in TX :D I'll have them installed and ready to bake in the Texas sun (or somewhat lack thereof lately) in minutes haha.

Bruce, I know you guys are working on a bunch of stuff .. what's the status on the tail light overlays?

Bruce, I know you guys are working on a bunch of stuff .. what's the status on the tail light overlays?

they are already done and cut then just need to be applied to my car for final fitting but i cant do it till its a sunny weekend

come to my house its beautiful outside

any updates for the roof overlay??????????????

pretty sure its the weekend..or the end of it should i say...another perfect day here for some decaling......

it was a really really nice weekend over here so I want pics :)

so hows the weather now?
still raining..

cant wait to see pics man

yea its raining today still

hahaha... damn man.. shitty weather out there eh?
but its better than snow anyday

true dat

what is the status on 8th gen overlays?

delay due to rain

this is worst than waiting on the premier of 1st star wars

^ haha

I want the tail light overlay NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought So Cal was supposed to be sunny. I guess it's time to break out the bangos and start my anti-rain dance...:banana::notworthy:banana::notworthy:nuts: :lmao:

Wonder how it'll look if you body paint match the entire tail light of the coupe from the bottom of the backup light up...taking out the backup light entirely...

Depending on the color I think that would look okay.. i dont think it'd look good on red or blue though. (maybe that's just me)

I want the tail light overlay NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:lmao: I know right. We need those overlays now!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i hope you guys don't depend on your reverse lights much, because you can't see shit after you smoke them.

its all clear in so cal whats the deal ??

I must be getting old. I have no idea why you'd want to smoke any of the lights on the car. To me, it's a contradiction to install HIDs, then smoke them. :dunno:

so is it going to " rain" this weekend to ?? :)

niceee

it hasnt been sunny.. bruceleroy is looking for a really sunny week.. its been raining/showers/ and overall been gloomy in so cal

the weekend is over so...........update????

sorry guys i was in Chicago all weekend just got home right now, im gonna try to get it done this week/weekend

sounds good. Make sure you try to as many parts as possible like his offerings with the 8gen Civic esp. the sidemarker overlay...

Bruce, have you got around to this yet?

this waiting is killing me

i am waiting for the goods to arrive so i can put it on, he shipped it a couple days ago

huh i thought u had it a long time ago

no he had it with him and he wanted me to drive down to him in san diego to get it installed but it was raining the past couple months on weekends now its sunny but i dont have the time to drive down there during a week day so he is mailing it to me so ill get a local installer to install it for me.

yea i know its a lot of drama, sorry for the delay but it will get done as soon as i recieve the overlays.

well take ure time (but in a fast way haha)

cant wait to see how they look

:jumping:

the wait is killing meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

its been a week since the last update

im still waiting for the goods to be delivered he hasnt responded back to me yet ive been emailing him since last week. he is prolly too busy at the moment.

i cant wait to see how the black roof looks. i was considering painting it black but i want to se ethis first

bat isnt a company, he's just a normal guy that does overlays when you request him to. and bruce only recently contacted him about the overlays.

3 months ago is recent to you?

Honestly this thread has probably made the wait seem so much longer cause I'm checking it constantly and all I hear is any day now. I'll still buy them if they ever come out, but I stopped holding my breath.

im just waiting for him to send me the final overlays so i can put on my car and show you guys. for some reason he hasnt responded to any of my message, he might be out of town or something.

i am really sorry for making you guys wait but it will be done when its done. he usually works pretty fast so something might have came up for this delay, i did hear that he and his daughter was really sick so that might be it.

I'm not trying to complain or blame anyone. It's just that the wait, coupled with the repeated cycle of anticipation/disappointment, has just left me a bit crestfallen. I still plan to buy them whenever they do get released.

Here are bluebat's overlays on my car. I love the look of tinted tails on a silver car. These are 20%.

I've never worked with overlays so they didn't go on perfectly smooth .. there are a few ripples and creases. I'll keep them on as a test to see how long they last .. then I may order new ones and get them professionally installed.

Kopimon those look sick on the silver car, nice license plate too!
haha, thanks. I've had some bad luck lately .. last week I was pulled over for no front plate .. $54 ticket, no biggie

Then today the local PD set up a checkpoint right at the end of the highway exit ramp to my street .. so he stopped me and gave me a ticket for front window tint .. he laughed about my plate with another cop.

He asked me why I don't have a front plate and I just told him I didn't want to get holes drilled in my bumper so I've kept it off, but I got a ticket for it last week and I made an appointment with the dealer to get it mounted tomorrow :blah: so he gave me a pass on that .. I put the plate back on as soon as I got home, figure it's not worth it to keep attracting attention

The only plus is that he didn't mention the tail tints .. :selavie:

That sucks, I was actually just going to take my front plate off, but maybe I shouldn't...

I've been considering tinting windows and tails on and off, but don't want to tint if I can't do the fronts, and I don't feel like getting tickets constantly.. I dunno.

A little OT, how does Friday sound for the PC? I ordered a bunch of stuff from autogeek with the code you gave me.

Yeah, I dunno .. I've had tints since July and I've been rolling without plates for two months and this is the first time I got tickets for both .. just the luck of the draw, I guess .. My tints aren't going anywhere but I'll keep the plate on for the time being.

PMed you about the PC.

Ray - Any updates with the overlays?
EDIT_ Never mind, saw that on the previous page.

Not sure if the front plate is even needed here in Georgia. The DMV only sent me one, but I didn't remove the dealership's plate for like 8 months. I'm still waiting on my check for advertising.

I do like those tail tints, kopimon. I am debating purchasing some. I'll have to get my windows tinted and then see how the car looks.

Anyone else get Bluebatmobile's overlays?

Anyone else get Bluebatmobile's overlays?

he doesnt even respond back to my anymore i think he fell out of this world :thumbsdow

When I had my TC, I had the option of Blue Bat Mobile overlays or just having a tint shop do it. I went to SD Tint in La Mesa and they were comparable in price and did great work. I had them do my Tails, Headlights and Eyelids and of course came with free removal for any fix it tickets + discount to put it back on lol... So anyone sick of waiting could call them up 619-469-9393, I am bringing my car back in for the headlights and tails next week.

he doesnt even respond back to my anymore i think he fell out of this world :thumbsdow

Sorry for the double post but I saw him like 2-3 weeks ago? He was dropping off a concept roof overlay for my buddies RX-8 in RB.

I've never seen the blacked out front lower lip. I think it's pretty sick from the pictures, but don't know how it'd look on my silver coupe
