Ebay has the vinyl overlays...Kind of a pain... I would just go to a local vinyl shop and they can make them up for you....Much more original and probably cheaper

Buyer beware with niteshades...I am a pretty good artsy person...and my niteshades were far from perfect....

stick to vinyl...IMHO.

BTW...I used niteshades on my rear...check out pics--

lol is it really that hard to use? mine look damn good but i paid for someone else to do it (hes already done a few cars before) and one of my other friends just did his tails on his truck with no experience with the stuff at all (he asked me about mine, bought the nightshades, and sprayed them last night. i haven't seen them in person but he was worried about it being runny and they look good in the pics)

I got my eyelids on ebaymotors. Just type on "eyelids chevy cobalt". I had to get two sets. Black and red. The light is gonna shine through if you only get the red. I don't like the cobalt headlight, too damn big so that's y I got the lids

definitely use a spray bottle like when tinting windows. Same method, but use ur fingers to get the air bubbles out. Don't use a credit cards or plastic squeege or you might crease it accidentally. If there's any tiny bubbles you can't get out then use a needle and poke the center. Then use your finger to let the air out.
