Nice work Dugless!

Not exactly for me, but a very worthy DIY contribution. Good-on-ya.

Cheers,
Hymee.

The whole problem with it right from the start is that they are vinyl.

It just screams BUDGET. Like anything in life, the best is always worth the added expense. Not that I'm biased or anything...

Ironic that I found this post today. I literally did this exact thing yesterday and was going to make a DIY of it.

However it was a bit easier for me since my dad and I own a sign and graphics shop so all I had to do was sneak off with some vinyl after work ;-)

My 8 is silver but has a lot of black on it I just made matte black eyelids. The reason I wanted eye lids is because my headlights have a weird smokey (almost burnt look) towards the top. Almost completely covered it with the eye lids. I'll post picks soon.

Glad to see that someone who doesn't work at a graphics shop figured this out though. Good work!
