BlueBatmobile Overlay Opportunity

Hey guys, I dont know if you have ever heard of this guy, he has done a lot of custom vinyl overlays for cars, very nice work, I had spoke to him a little earlier, and asking if he has done anything for the rx8, he said nothing yet, that he would need a project car in san diego. He suggested I make a thread, see what the interest is, post his gallery, and see whats going on, all I know is that if I wasn't on the opposite side of the country I would be all up for it. Check out some of his work at www.bluebatmobile.com He is the one that owns the blue 350z, I think this is some gorgeous work and would love to get some items for the 8.

He makes the custom vinyl overlays, they can go practically anywhere, for example on his 350z, he has blue ones inside his door handles. Im not sure how to post pictures or I would show a little more detail.

I knew bluebatmobile from another site, and his products are great. He is most known for his headlight/taillight overlays. He does GREAT work, and has some of the best customer service you could ask for.

Definately more interested in the taillights than headlights, either a full tint, or some type of design around the light itself, similar to your GTR overlays for the G35. If you search on this foum you will find a lot of people are looking for something different in the tailight area of this car, as the aftermarket has provided nothing so far.

from back in the day : https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...light=overlays


I think when people see the finished product they'll want them.

The rears might be a bitch to make/install though

Bump to bring this back from the dead. I'm working with Bat to get prototypes done currently. Is there still an interest in overlays?
