Question

yeah i did apply it over my stock corners. i'm not sure about the clear corner application. i would think it would be no different. but i honestly haven't seen any clears up close.
Well I wash and wax my 8 a lot. You think it will hold up well?
Thanks

Well that would be nice but there is no good quality vinyl shops around here!! I already have the third brake light cover like yours but it is black but the problem is I had to get it off of ebay due to no one around here would do it.

ey just to let you know the JDM rx8 turnsignals are a different shape than the USDM amber colored ones, so if you're going to be making these for people, you should get a hold of the jdm clear sidemarkers so you can get the proper sizing/fitment for everyone.

So you have a local guy who can do the side markers and eyelids? nice.. Can he color match Nordic Green?

What is he charging, including shipping if you could find out. Thanks!

He told me that he could color match any of the colors, I will let you know as soon as he gets the colors in and also I will see what he will charge.

He is using my car for a template. From what I understand he is supposed to get the colors in this week. I will keep you posted and post pics when we are done.

flat vinyl over the headlights look kinda tacky. if there were like somehow made to look thicker on top of the headlights I think i'd be nice.

ScreaminRX8,

Could you publish these templates so we can go out and replicate your success?

The guy that is doing this for me is out of town at the moment but when he gets back I am supposed to get with him to get this going! But here is the first attemp at the eyelids and matching the color, the color is a litte off so we are going to try again!
Let me know what ya'll think even thought the color is off.

I like the eye lids wndotinter did a little better with the straight angled edge at the bottom.
