Default Aerotect Overlays

So I got my overlays for headlights/foglights/tails/reflectors this Saturday and put them on. Results were kind of bad. The cutouts were too small in a lot of areas and there was way too much stretching required. Also, it was PITA to put on. And I got no discount for being a CL member, which was crap too. I may just pull those things off and paint em myself... I am really disappointed with the quality of these overlays. Anyone else have the same trouble...However, the redouts were fine... I wish I could get my money back for the overlays...

Mines weren't perfect cut either and it probably would've been better if you were at the shop getting it installed but too bad we don't live in socal

I ordered my redout overlays from Rvinyl, and they fit the tail lights perfect. I ordered my fog overlays from Aerotect, and yes, they were a little bit tricky to put on compared to the tail light overlays. I screwed up on the first try with the fog overlays doing them myself, so I ordered another pair and had the guy who tinted my windows put them on my fogs; he only charged me $10 labor and did a great job.

my aerotect overlays are perfect. of course it helps that francisco put them on for me. the taillights are not easy to do. the point in the tailights makes it hard to fit perfectly. did the taillight kit come with the overlays pre-cut for the pointed part of the tailights?
