I was going to buy the overlays with the turn signal cut out. But i really like the way yours turned out, i might just paint it instead.

Paint used was VHT Niteshades. I have a picture of some measurements I took but I doubt it would help with actual placement and centering, there are 4 ridges/ lines that are in the turn signal part of the taillight I used the end of those lines and the chrome on the pieces on top and bottom of the turn signal part of the tail light as reference points as to where I would mask it off. Tips of advise, use good masking tape, use knife less vinyl wrap cutting tape in order to get a clean line, spray 3-4 coats, wetsand 1500 grit and polish with a good compound. Then they will turn out like how mine did. Good luck!
