thank you very much

silly question, where is his email link? all i can find are pictures?

i beleive this is his email addy for the overlays:bluebatmobile@san.rr.com

Checking into this myself... just sent him an email and will see if I get a response. I hope he is still around, but we will see.

should be, I had sent him a email 2 months ago or so and he responded.

That email works just fine.The Red Outs will be $22 with flat rate shipping.He said he is going to ship mine out tomorrow!!! Talk about fast!He does take PayPal at that email as well, that's how I paid for mine.Can't wait till I get them!

Thanks, I'll give him a shout

As NascarXprt said... this is the email address to use: bluebatmobile@san.rr.com ...thanks again for all your help northvibe!

Hi guys! I'm still around making Overlays . Just email me to order .Bat

Thanks

i just ordered some(well..emailed him)

Any idea how these will hold up with weather and sun fade?

Ive had mine for like...1.5 years and they are still like new. I think in the instructions he sends they say 7-10 yrs at least.

I've always read the dishwashing soap (ie. Dawn) in a spray bottle works best... that's what I am going to use when I put mine on. I've been procrastinating for weeks now, but I've been busy too.

yup dish soap and a spray bottle with water..worked for me. I worked the vinyl from the back hatch part to the side.

What did you use to get all the water out after you had it in place? Credit card with a cloth? Did you have to use a hairdryer or heatgun at all to get rid of small air bubbles? Sorry for all the ?'s, I just want to get this right the first time.

Andy (bluebat) is pretty reputable. i got my overlays for the Si.The soap and spray bottle is a dream. i would look into a squeegie (sp) type object. i used a bondo applicator, but the plastic CAN scratch the film. and those bubbles are almost inevitable... Take your time and work center or edge out.... center out worked best for me.

yeah i used a credit card to squeegee but the water and soap just evap out after a day or two. if there are tiny bubbles, i just poked them with a pin. but the big ones i squeegeed out.

ordered mine..he's shipping it out tomorrow..hopefully get it before the ohio meet, also got the stickers for the engine cover..ordered paint for it aswell..both will be done before ohio cant wait

I've had mine on for over 2.5 years and they're doing fine.

pics dammit!Bat

hrm...forgot about those....

i will have pics once i recieve them and install them

I put mine on today, what a pain in the @SS but they look great.

how come they were a pain in the (removed) mountainmax?? just curious so i know what to avoid and tips on making it easier

they were hard to shape around the lights as there are compound curves and you always get those dam finger type bubbles in there, I did try some heat but for me that made it even worse, I ended up just working it with my fingers and eventually got it though, how about you Scherry ???

Red Outs are probably the best visual mod for a Vibe if your looking for something inexpensive and stylish. I am not a fan of the amber lens, good job!

Heating them up with a hair dryer will make it easier to shape around the curves, just take your time and it'll form around them. Makes the tails look 100x better!

they are tricky with the compound curves. but I took my time and used lots of soapy water and a squeege from work to get air bubbles out

"hi, my name is Diane, and I am a redout failure..."I finally got around to attempting to install them this weekend, and all I can say is while you guys got great results, bless you for having the patience of saints.I futzed around with them for almost 40 minutes before I gave up and said "way beyond my skill set"This is no offense to the awesomeness they are, the product was in great shape and priced right, I just couldn't get them to flex enough over the compound curves at all. (and it was almost 80 out, and I was in the sun too!)It's clearly installer error not producer error :-)Diane

i tried to do it and got to frustrated with them so i threw them out..such a pain in the (removed) they are..was hoping they were more like an actual vinyl then a piece of plastic

i still wanna get these. they look so damn good, i could care less how long it takes me to get em on
