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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
