Mike is right.. where are the eyelids and euro spoilers.. somebody start manufacturing tout sweet!! We wants..

 

They were advertisements that some of us mods didn't realize weren't allowed.

 

Got you Elara, let me rephrase it this way, can anybody who is not a reseller recommend some shops that sell eyelids and lip spoilers for cheap.

 

anyone have eyelids on their 8?

 

Yea, Dugless had them on his 8 at the last meet in Tustin.
They looked real good in person. see them here https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...hlight=eyelids

I have them but i'm waiting for them to get painted. I will post some pics when they are done.

 

Blackbeard - Alot of questions because you're the first to have them that I know of. Thank you in advance for your help.

Where did you buy them? How much did they set you back and do they all come unpainted? If so, what are we looking to pay to get them the color of our cars? How do they attach to the car - adhesive/ clips?

 

I bought them from rotaryextreme.com for $150. That is the cheapest price around. I always do my research! They are made from a flexible black plastic. You would have to get them painted from an auto body shop even if u have a black rx8, like myself. The back of the eyelid has and adhesive tape which would tape to the headlight cover. I might take the adhesive tape off a replace it with Velcro. This way when u take ur car to a store or a mall u can take the eyelid off and place it in ur car. For $150 and getting it painted from an auto body shop u don't want someone ripping them off ur car. I'm going to an auto body shop tomorrow to get an estimate. I will let u know how much the total price will cost.

 

Thanks for the info BB - I'll wait for your post.

 

If you have to worry about someone ripping them off your car, and you're going to get velcro to take them with you, I see that in no way being worth it. I can't imagine carrying eyelids while walking around the mall, let alone telling people that I walk around with that I have my car's headlight covers with me.

While you're at it, take your mudflaps and muffler tips too. That way you can rest easy while you're walking around the mall.

 

has anyone thought of just having the eyelids just painted on the lens of the car by a professional shop.

 

With the quality of the lense, I would probably think the paint would eventually come off, or even melt perhaps due to the brightness of the xeno. I doubt that would be a worthy idea

 

thanks BB

rotary extreme is the best shop so far

I didn't even want eyelids till I saw them in person on vividracing's rx8, they look great

keep us posted BB

 

BB - I understand your concern w.r.t. the eyelids being stolen. I would just hope the RX8 is being purchased by a group of individuals that wouldn't do that sort of thing. Who really knows though. I would tend to think that only custom wheels or stereo equipment would the things that would be at risk. I have had both of those items stolen from my cars in the past. Its not fun and it always makes you think, "Will this happen to me again?"

I choose to enjoy it while I have it and if it gets 'jacked' than thats what I pay insurance for. JMO.

 

How long did you wait to get these from RE

bulletproofautomotive.com
has them for 110 but says it takes 4 weeks to get them

 

Well at least 5 people have them. Maybe they arent on this board though....

 

Wow long time. Funny though, they are in stock at R-magic hehe

 

vivid racing has them too

 

EVO-R's new 3D Eyelid.

 

those look alright
but its hard to tell without them on the car
do you have any other pics
