NEED these eyelids!!
 

I was strolling through the net this evening/morning and came across a few pics of this 8 with the coolest eyelids ever. Just wondering if anyone knows who makes these or where I could purchase a pair. Thanks

..... are you sure you NEED them?

imo they are pretty awful.. you look at the KEI Office eyelids, Race Roots makes a replica of them because the real ones are really expensive.

wow thats funny, heres someone selling a paid of the RR ones right now lol

those look pretty basic. Find a local shop that works with fiberglass and have them make you a pair. Or do some research and make a set for yourself, they really basic to make.

Nice eyelids.

Those are hawt

never seen these before...very aggressive not sure how theyd look up close though

get a post-it and put it on you head light.

I think the KEI look like they belong on a civic personally... These are so aggressive. As for me doing any fiberglass work.. no. There MUST be someone out there who has come across these from a seller.:wallbash:

Just use vinyl, you can design anything you want, cost less, can be easily replaced and don't weigh much.

Those aren't KEI Eyelids or replica of any kind.

I would assume since no one has seen them before they are a custom made piece. We do not sell that piece referenced in that photo.

Those are AWESOME. Reminds me of a Silvia S15. You won't do it.

eyelids?
I like that entire damn car!
OD

I REALLY want those eyelids as well. I'm going to see if I can find someone local who can make them

Holy shit Abflug kit!!!

wish we could see these eyelids on a car w/o a CF hood...might look a lot different

Please post it here if anyone finds it....:smoker:

no but actually i think they look cool lol

^:rofl:

Lol

:lol2:Reverend, I am not sure what is funnier.... the picture or the fact that you took the time to run out, put the tape on, write on it, photo it, then post it.

ha ha, rev may not have a life, but that was hilarious!!! :rofl:

and by the way, those "eyelids" are ugly.

lol like i said i actually like the eyelids i wanted to use the tape as a test run but didnt feel like backing the car up to get a wider angle shot lol

so i wrote on that shit for lulz

ha ha, i like the extra pieces of painters tape in the hood vents...do they come with the eyelids?? :lol:

In a few weeks I'm going to mock up a set of these eyelids and look into having them made for sale

i forgot a word in my post, i said he SHOULD look at the kei office eylids, and then i recommended yours that you sell lol. I was actually pushing him to buy from you because you have the KEI replica for a pretty good price.

I know what he wants arent KEI, i siad he should look into them but he doesnt like them :dunno:

now i recall the name.. it was REV eyelids! it looks hot with the tape :lol:

I must say that the tape is one of the funnier things I have seen on the forum haha. Very Nice! If my car werent a VR I would be on my way to Home Depot right now! So... Here is a sweet pic.

ahem abflug replica lol

lol you make my day

Definitely replica.. I should know.

:yelrotflm

The s15 headlights were the first things i thought of! I think whatever front bumper you have with these eyelids plays a HUGE role in what the final product ends up looking like...

I would suggest make your own, out of vinyl like a few others have said or any type of 2 part epoxie that is maliable, Ive made several designs from the later.

Only if i know how.....:dunno:
Anyone know if any socal shop would take custom order...?
Really like the eye lines, but search both US and JP sites but couldn't find anything...

In a few weeks I'll be cutting the lenses of junked headlights to create a base mold. I'll see if I can make a few sets

^let me know~ :beer:

you definately do not need to cut up the headlights to make molds for eyelids

Rev - if u can make a pair out of duck tape ill take a pair for my sunlight silver 8:yelrotflm

electrical tape comes in quite a few different colors.

someone should photoshop some s15 lights on it.

These are made from a sheet of plastic, its like 50 pages back in the Super autobacs thread in multimedia.

If you wanted to get fancy, you can put aluminum foil over the lights and lay wet fiberglass right on them. just watch for dripping liquids that flow out before hardening.

LoL Rev
I was thinking the same thing, then I saw your post.

How much do you guys think it would cost to have a body shop make something like this? It's a very basic little piece so I wouldn't imagine it being much, but I want to get an idea before I go ask the guys in my area.

I'm really digging these eyelids. I dunno why. I'm really tired of looking at all of the R-Magic and Kei Offices; they all look the same (No offense to owners of these lids, they look great but they're pretty much the only eyelids out there). These are a nice, very aggressive alternative that would look fantastic with the right front end.

lol thats whats up! hahahhaha

i painted mine..

Can we find some more pictures?
They look interesting!

Here are some on Ebay

Try using electrical tape (the big ones) for eyelids. There are different colors to choose from. If you can't afford the real eyelids, this is it...not joking ;)

Cut them to your preference. I have a friend that did it before on his 92 Nissan 240sx...on the rear lights, he made 2 round ones on each light, looks cool.

I never tried it on mine...thought you guys might ask :)

Ever think about making a thread just for yourself where you can tell everyone about the cheapest ways to do mods? These mods would not only save you a lot of money, short term, but would be guaranteed to make your car look its absolute worst.
