Talking 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?

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..

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

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

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.

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

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.

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
