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.

Speaking of the Talladega race I live with in 3 miles from the track.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I got a guy here that is going to do this for me, I will post pics after I have the eyelids done. He also said he would be up to selling them to anyone who wants them. I will post more info when I recieve it.

I'm interested in hearing more for the Tit. Grey. Not far from you in the ATL -

ScreaminRX8 04-24-2006 10:54 AM

As soon as we get the color for Titanuim work out I will let you know. He did not have the color in and has ordered some that is suppose to match so we will see.

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.

Thanks for the info!!

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.

great to hear.. :bigok:

StealthFox 04-26-2006 11:27 PM

can't wait to see, ive actually never seen eyelids done in vinyl, i usually seen them done in thins trips of fiberglass

NgoRX8 04-27-2006 12:02 AM

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.

Any word Screamin?

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.

Gimlet 05-10-2006 12:08 PM

Shape looks pretty good...Keep us in the loop - I'm still interested

BoosTED 05-10-2006 01:26 PM

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

ScreaminRX8 05-10-2006 03:37 PM

we could make them as big as you wanted or how ever you wanted. I hope to talk to him this weekend and see where we are at with this, I am trying to get this going for the people that want them.
