Anyone have the number for the bat phone? I emailed last week and have not received an answer.

Photothug · 04-26-2008, 10:21 AM

just be patient, The guy is super busy. He just does the overlays on the side. He will get to you. The best thing to do is go to his website.
I'll just copy the same stuff he sent me. I got mine in a week but haven't installed yet. I am waiting to get an appointment with a tint guy.

If you paypal him with the right instructions he will get back to you as soon as he can. The guy is a teacher and has two kids so you can guess that he doesn't have a lot of time. But not too many people have this product so you have to be patient.

This is what he sent me.

All BlueBatmobile2005 - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Overlays are made from a 7 Year rated High Performance Premium Vinyl, very durable! All Overlays mount to the outside surface, and priced for the pair or complete kit!. Application is Peel and Stick with the aid of soap and water, and a hair dryer for some applications. Overlays can be removed if desired with no or minimal residue left behind by applying heat with a hairdryer or heat gun and slowly peel off. For my Smoke tints I offer a 6/10 which equals 20% tint, and a lighter 3/10 which equals 60% tint. All kits come with application instructions. Also, some kits have a double or dual layer option. This is an extra layer in black so light doesnt pass through the overlay. Check your local laws before ordering smoke overlays.

heres mine. a long story about these will be posted in my journal later.

***stealth*** · 04-26-2008, 01:37 PM

I think I should have done full redouts possibly though. And I forgot to get the third brake light. AAArrrggghhh.

Photothug · 04-26-2008, 05:19 PM

Ahh Finally a black pic with the cutouts. That's what I got. I haven't installed mine yet. Looks great. I don't think it looks bad with the cutouts. I want the brightness of the backup light so I'm ok with the silver cutout. So putting them on wasn't a walk in the park eh?

I got a guy that does window films on houses, RV's and cars so I think I am going to get him to do it.

OBPSTi-Looks great I think.

Photothug · 04-26-2008, 05:21 PM

Do we really need the red third brake light? I guess it would be complete with that but its so small that I don't think it matters.

Why the second thoughts?

Photothug · 04-26-2008, 05:25 PM

Juggernaut,
You could take your stock taillights out and bake them in the oven to melt the seal and paint them yourself but do you really want to break the seal and risk the condensation look after it rains? I have seen some custom jobs in by a guy in Jacksonville, FL, he's done them on 06's and 07's that look really nice. He painted the insides flat black. I can find out his profile on NASIOC if you want. you'd have to take out your tails and be without for over a week though.

Yeah I had a tint guy I know do them and they still aren't perfect. I posted a long story about it in my journal. I think it would tie it all together if the third brake was done as well. I also asked Bat for a light tinted cutout for the reverse light because I thought that might be a cool look but I think because its not one of the packages he couldn't do it. And the reasons for some of the second thoughts were someone posted this pic on another forum and I love the way it looks.
