SUPERWHITE tC's: I Need Your Help With Tail Light Overlays!

Hey everybody.

I'm looking to get some overlays for my tail lights, middle brake light, and the turn signals on the mirrors.

I did a lot of searching through the forum but did not find too many superwhite tc's with overlays.

If you drive a WHITE scion tc can you please post pics of your overlays?
Also... if ANYONE (any car color) has overlays (or nightshades) on the turn signals or third brake light please post those up as well

Any suggestions as to WHERE to buy overlays would be nice as well. I saw the overlays on blubat and I liked the ones with the reverse light cut out.

Any suggestions and opinions are appreciated!

Thanks in advance

- Greg

I know there's a lot to dig through, but I bet there are some tCs with overlays on 'em.

Here are some pics of mine. It's not SW but you asked.

VHT + tape for the turn signal on the mirror

BlueBat's TBL overlay (tails done with VHT)

Just a heads up, the overlays for the brake lights are pretty tough to apply. Just make sure you take your time and use a hairdryer.

VHT is the company that makes Niteshades.
TBL means Third Brake Light

Painted and clearcoat is better bro...a bit more expensive but IMO is well worth the extra money.

Thanks for the pics.

I agree, i think that painting is the better way to go. But a friend of mine got some overlays professionally installed and it looks great. So i dont think its worth the extra money.

I'll just save the money for some other stuff i wanna do
