Looks angry, I like it.

Hard to tell if the paint is the same color from that angle, though..

i always loved these eye lids. Congrats on ur set.

its the same color, and you have to remember that winning blue changes to purple in the sun, but its a 99% perfect match, not 100%, nothings perfect i guess

Sharks galore!

sweet those are growing on me.

i got them from this guy http://stores.ebay.com/Fibre-Customs-Fabrications

Looks very aggressive I might pick some up for the WWP in my life

can you take a pic. from front view. down low to the gorund?

i should, but its a little dark out now, ill wait till tomorrow to do it, let me know if it matchs because when im looking at the car, it looks perfect to me

i have evo-r eyelids i just want to see the difference in stealth look

the paint looks almost non-reflective... from the pictures you posted the eyelids are a completely different shade than WB

I like the aggressiveness though

I think you meant to post under "Tastless Modifications". Seriously though, whats year is your 8 and whats on the odometer?

wtf does that mean?

i might have to add more clear coat,

looks nice

I dig them but it just seems that the color is off...even with the angle

ok ill take a night shot to see how it looks, i can always start over with the paint. sand them down

Dumb question: How do you paint something like that yourself? What kind of equipment do you need?

you can either buy the actually paint from a local supply and add the additives (if you have the equipment i.e. paint gun and air compressor) or you can get online and find a bottle of spray paint in your color (10 -20 dollars)

yeah i got the spray paint 27b can and clear coat, good tip on them.

the car looks mad in a happy way, i just love how it looks

there....those pics help do your paint job justice

paint was still drying before anyways, it takes a few days for the true winning blue to shine, it was really really dark blue when the paint was wet

its a modification that helps reflect the light off on top, protects the lights in alot of ways

Good color match.

what kind of adhessive did you use? im guessing a form of 3M?

looks fuckin baller. these are the same eye lids i have and i love them!

looks sweet. well done.

those are sick. i love 'em.

Love um

Nice eyelids and paint match. where you get the spray paint from?

Looks great... Looks like mine but i have CF...

those look mean

hey did those come with 3m on the back

Well I suppose that's enough procrastination.. I think I've had his Ebay page bookmarked for over a year so I'm off to buy these.

These look really good I think. I like that they don't have the sharp thin pieces jutting down along the inside. It also looks like they're mounted very flush, which is nice because a lot of eyelids look like they're just stacked on and they stand out too much.

The finish on the paint looks pretty good to me - especially considering it was rattle canned! More pictures would be awesome if possible!

well its been a month now with them on, and its been raining none stop over and over, and its been hot like in the 100s, everything seems good, and i clean them like how i clean my car, im very happy with them and how it takes off the heat and covers the sun spots that the lights gets over time. it really helps i think, the one thing i have to say is that people look at my car alot more

nice eyelids

Nice man, I just got done making mine own eyelids for 12 bucks....

Lookin' good rotary. I got my eyelids yesterday and laid down the paint and clearcoat on them last night, so I will probably mount them this evening once it's cooled down a bit.

I haven't really compared the paint match yet by putting them side by side, but from examining the eyelids on their own, it looks like it should be a very good match. I'll be sure to get some pictures up when I get them on.

Also, as a quick tip for painting, in case anyone needs it - always start spraying BEFORE you are actually over the piece you're painting, as starting the paint flow over the part will typically put down a thicker layer at your starting point. If you want to start in the middle of the part, start moving the can before you start spraying.

Color match from the spray paint from www.automotivetouchup.com - I am pretty darn happy with the color.

just got mine in

yours look better then mine, i might have to repaint them

very agressive.

I think the key was that I went a bit overboard on the paint. I was actually worried I had over-painted, but it turned out great. I used 4 coats each (4-6 passes each) of the basecoat and clearcoat, and the match was phenomenal. It's also possible I was just lucky and got a great batch of paint too.

Do the eyelids affect the throw of the lights at all?

I have the evo-r eyelids

Is there a way to get these pre-painted? I have no trust whatsoever in painting them well myself.

any word on where I might be able to pick some up for an '09?
