RX8 eyelids and paint
 

ok so im going to buy some Eyelids for my car and they come primed of course but i was wondering where how and how much could i get them painted to the exact color of my car and have it done good, also does anyone know if the mazda dealer would paint them?? i live in socal orange county area if anyone wants to help. sorry but i searched and i found no info on this. these are the lids im getting http://www.body-kit.com/rx8eyelid3.jpg

yeah i would like to know as well!

zumn has a guy that has the VR paint ready to go...

I thought they came pre-painted from wherever you bought them, tbh. Goes to show how much I pay attention.

Depends what site you get them from but i think they do.

thanks for your replies. yea i know some websites do sell them pre painted but i couldn't find any =/ plus i have galaxy Grey i think lol or titanium i need to check my color code i just don't want to get them and then have them sit there for an eternity cuz i couldn't find anyone to paint them lol and i would do it myself but everytime i try a DIY it turns into a horrible disaster where 50 people at least die LOL the only thing i really want is for the color to match perfectly

Dont quote me on this but i think 04's were titanium grey and 05's and on were galaxy grey, but im not 100% sure.

oops i quoted u on it ha ^ but i have an 04 so maybe but ill just check color code when it gets back from shop today got a new radiator mine is kind of a darker grey but has a hint of blue watever that is

does anyone know where to order eyelids from that come pre painted (winning blue)
but im looking for a more aggressive look

The only ones I know of that are prepainted are from evo-r.net but I just tried looking up their site and it wouldn't load for me.

Best bet is to get a body shop to paint them, locally. Ensure color is done right. That the way I did it.

And yet you don't say how much it cost????

I'm guessing it's about $70-$120..

^ yeah, that's about right

I think these look the most aggressive, i got mine and they look mean i just gota get them painted

dang thats steep for little pieces to paint =/

Prices are going to vary from area to area and shop to shop.

Get quotes from the body shop and ask to see some of their work to see if it is is good or not.

If you are looking for suggestions for a body shop, post in the regional sections of the board, or search the regional sections for body shop suggestions.

yea i know right?
i was guessing that it probably should not cost more than $40 bucks tops just to paint a few eyelids!:icon_no2:

i know its cheaper to have a rim coated lol

you live in socal? you should jump on the socal lounge and start interacting. go to the meet tonight and meet some of the locals

wheres the meet?

check out the painted r-magic eyelids on japanparts.com

HOOOLY they are expensive im getting a pair that look nicer for 45 with shipping 0_0 japan parts want like 230$

Well you pay for quality, just remember that ;)

I know a guy who has some really sick eyelids, depends on what style your looking for. can't say prices for sure, pm me if you want more info.
