They are finally in and they look perfect, they have 3M tape on the back for easy adhesion and installation.

For those that are particular about color matching it is highly recommended that you have them painted local so the painter can eye match the color.

I'm wondering the same, how close of a match are the 2 colors? Very interested in getting some already painted WWP.
Thanks!

Edit: I just saw snowflake pearl tricoat on there, is that WWP?

There are different paint codes so yes we can do either, I will get them added to the website. We order the paint from Mazda so it will be the same color code, hence the cost of the paint work as you can see on our site.

Sweet well lets see how long it take the body shop to get my baby back on the road

I learned one thing, (Kei office eyelid owner here)... Either dark prime the back side of the eyelids or paint them.....If you don't at night even a color like my Copper Red shows through up close. I'm assuming yours are either fiberglass or FRP?

No offense Race Roots, just passing on my observations.

Definitely good info I will pass that along to my painter and add that on the website.

It is the same material of the Original KEI Eyelids so there is no differences.

Thanks!

Those that are getting them painted please allow a week turnaround time.

Thanks!

Which paint color do we pick for Whitewater Pearl? I want to get some pre painted. The site list has Crystal White Pearl and Snowflake Pearl Tricoat.
Thanks,
JT

Adding White water pearl to the website now :)

Thanks! Just placed my order online, I can't wait!

i saw them yday might order a set when i order my hood

YES FINALLY. I have been searching for these for a while. Thought they would be cheaper, but then again I'm a broke college student.

Update to everyone due to the holiday week I don't think the painter is going to have it done in time. Hoping this coming Monday or Tuesday.

Lookie lookie what just came in back from the painter

http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o113/BluMonstrRX8/IMG_6509.jpg

Sweet can't wait to get them installed!

Found some imperfections on yours so it is going back today to be refinished.

Damn. Just need to save me up a little cash.

Order placed!! =]

Order placed!! =]

Got it, getting dropped off at the painters.

Still trying to get ahold of him after the holiday break.

Sounds good. I understand..busy times.. =]

anyone have these installed before I drop the cash on these?

I do, they look pretty good, but notice... They bend VERY easily and are a tad off in terms of actual KEI shape, Mine were a little bent on one, the part by the bottom of the eyelid, but other than that they look good :)

^Your post fails without pics...

:werd:

I have them too I will try to post some pics today, fitment was good as well as paint match. When you put them on, try to be as accurate as possible because once the tape hits the headlight it doesn't want to let go but it will come up if you need to adjust it.

sorry what I meant is the shape of one is off... I'll post pics later

Yours is pictured in the first post so I am curious to see what you mean.

Here's mine sorry for the crappy iphone pics but they look great in person! I'll get some pics with the good camera in a day or so.

http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x213/brandonp091611/Palmpics0193.jpg

Shipped yet?.. sorry just anxious =]

Getting dropped off today.

still have these?

Yes I do.

Instock and ready to ship! :)

Anyone interested in a Carbon Fiber version?

get mines from the painters tomorrow :)

along with my 6 point strut :)

oh snap!

Chino: did you by chance have the same problem as WTB?? because if i remember right raceroots doesnt do returns for fitment issues so if i buy them i want to be sure my chances of them fitting nicely are good

But they look really good either way and i dont see you haveing the same problem from the view you posted, and paint match looks really clean

the drivers side did touch the bumper a slight bit but nothing really noticeable.

the paint match is exact because my entire car was repainted and the eyelids done about two months later by the same shop

O okay i thought u ordered them paint matched. Well they look really good =]

wtf dude eyelids and no clears? youre not JDM and you dont get the extra 20 HP for having both.

Loving the eyelids.

what material are these made of? and do you have any primered ones in stock?

FRP and yes I do.

Will these fit an S2 and can you paint in Aurora Blue?

These would most likely not fit a S2 due to the different shape headlight.

here's a few pics with my eyelids

Looking real good!

Ordered! :D Very excited about the colormatch with velocity red :O

Got the order, give it a week or so for the painter to do the work and I will get it shipped out asap.

Will these work on a 2009 R3?

No, its a completely different headlight.

Greg is correct these particular ones will not fit series 2. We do have a series 2 version in production. We have a thread in S2 forums.

Do you have a time frame when they will be available for the R3 model?
Thanks

I wish I did, I am continually emailing for updates for the series 2 eyelids. I will update the thread in the S2 forum.

I will post the second they are available and begin to ship. :)
