Eyelids Installed
 
Hello everyone. :) I Ordered the closest thing to Kai Office eyelids that I could find, and got them painted & installed over the weekend. Opinions?

TopGear8 03-09-2009 02:24 PM

Fitment looks very nice. Lookin good!

Fortunate Few 03-09-2009 02:27 PM

L337fpc 03-09-2009 02:28 PM

very nice man. Dare I ask where you aquired said eyelids?

Race Roots 03-09-2009 02:30 PM

He got them off ebur!

tubingchamp 03-09-2009 02:30 PM

^^ Are you implying that e-bay is like being stabbed with a burr ? Haha :)

They look great:D

Race Roots 03-09-2009 02:33 PM

LOL

They do look nice

L337fpc 03-09-2009 02:33 PM

well those are freaking sweet. i know im gonna invest in them once i've got the $$ saved for a complete body kit.

SiLVeRE8 03-09-2009 03:22 PM

i want a set and i didnt see them on ebay

SilverHokie 03-09-2009 03:46 PM

They look great and fitment is excellent. In my opinion, lips and the aero package compliment the eyelids a little better.

Stock makes them look kinda funny.

Those look really nice. I have a local guy who paint matched my bumper when it got scratched up - I bet he could paint match some of these for me too.... hummm.. :)

how much did you pay to paint them? If you dont mind

Ross_Dawg 03-09-2009 04:29 PM

looks good, linky?

pdxhak 03-09-2009 04:36 PM

I've always liked these eyelids. The paint match looks perfect!

BTW Someone on rx8web.com makes these. Or he used to that is.

pdxhak 03-09-2009 04:41 PM

Those look very nice, congrats. I agree they would look absolutely killer with a kit.

Leesha 03-09-2009 04:50 PM

How much did they cost you? Cool looking indeed....

S1lveRx8 03-09-2009 05:14 PM

Thanks for all the comments guys. I really didn't admire the perfect fitment until all of the comments. Def. a great product.

The Seller is VQ5Speed.

He takes 1-9 days to make it before he ships out USPS Priority mail. Took less than 2 weeks total for mine to arrive.

Paid $50.80 for the eyelids and $45 bucks for the paint match at a shop near my house that has done work for me before.

His name is Jethro Tull. I PM'ed him about it before I jumped on these. He still makes them per order basis. $150 primer or $250 painted sunlight silver ONLY COLOR AVAILABLE.

Baez rx8 03-09-2009 06:44 PM

Looks good

Jethro Tull is a member on this board so no need for anyone to register over on the dark side hahahah

Assuming the quality of the eyelids from ebay is good then that is a great price!

neXib 03-09-2009 07:08 PM

The thing with the Kei Office is that they compliment the shape of the car. These don't as much, so in my opinion they are a bit too big. But still look great, I like the more "evil" look eyelids give.

RoTaRyRx-8 03-09-2009 11:30 PM

they look way nice

SiLVeRE8 03-10-2009 12:19 AM

after looking at the kei office eyelids... i see that they are both kind of different. the kei looks more smooth on the curved edges. but these still looks good for the price! might pick up a pair and just modify them myself
