This is a diy...probably one of the easiest on here. It is a 20 minute job. I'm not even sure a shop would agree to do this for you.

I went to 29th and Vermont in L.A.

At first I went to a local tint shop I usually go to, but the guy said he had never done it before but he referred me to that place. I had been there before but a while back.

You've got to be kidding me. And you're basing this on what? I'd say that 95% of every person who has bought the overlays has done the installation themselves, and the other 5% had another forum member do them. It is easy!!! There's about a 20 page thread from **********s that has massive pics of perfect installations.

In the amount of time I took to type this response....I could have installed one side....perfectly.

and you're basing that on what? i have also seen ppl doing poor job at this and ruined the whole thing. there're also coupe threads about ppl having a hard time with it. i put it on myself and it looked okay. However i can still see the orange from top. Mine just too small to cover the whole thing

Read the above again, it explains exactly what I based my comment on.

I'm out. I was simply trying to help, if the op wants to take the overlays to a tint shop to be installed, then do it. Good luck.
