Hello there,

What is the difference between the ones for 129 bucks from 69 ones?
http://evo-r.net/product/RX-8/eyelids/index.htm
I understand the first ones are painted while the other ones are not, but when you click to purchase the second one, it asks you to put the color code which makes no sense for me.

Anyone?

 

I'm guessing paint. 69 for unpainted. I have them on my 8 and like them a lot.

Bob

 

Which one did you buy?

 

Red, painted.

 

Why not perform a search on EVO-R eyelids using the ever-so-famous search feature of RX8Club.com?

 

How much did you pay for it?

Oh really?! I haven't thought about it

Well, I did research the forum but unfortunatley nobody has the same question

Thank you for your help though

 

I can't remember but 130 sounds about right. I really like them and they have held up very nice.

Yeah, they look good, thanks

 

I think they look good. I may just end up using vinyl instead. Who knows. They look hot though!

 

i got mine off ebay for $40 got them painted for another $50, i dont think they have them on ebay anymore though, same goes for the mazdaspeed shoulder pads i ordered.

 

actually i got the accolade eyelids, got confused

 

Are they low profile? I've seen some that are like 3 inches thick that look really out of place. Do these flow?

 

Guys, I ordered it on April 4th, and still got nothing. Horrible communication too. I asked Jay or whatever his name is what's wrong and he claimed that there some delays and ****. I wouldn't order anything from them from now on, just to let you know.

 

I ordered mine April 7th and they're shipped. Im putting them on in a week or so and ill post pics

 

Yeah, he shppied mine on Friday. I mean it took him forever to ship it, he even didn't notify me until I IM'ed him.

 

It does mention that it takes five business days to paint, so I'd imagine it could take up to two weeks to get it shipped out. I ordered mine on the 11th, hopefully I'll get them by the end of the month.

 

Jay is the worst. I will never buy from him again.

 

I heard mix reactions about him. That's why I went with the R magic eyelids from Japanparts.com.

 

I got my R magic eyelids off ebay for $110 unpainted.

 

Yeah he's not the most communicative dude but he got me the lids pretty fast considering they came from the far east.

They're thickish, but I'd rather they're thick than chintzy like vinyl looks. I'll try to snap a few pictures of mine.

 

Has anyone tried removing the eyelids with the 3M tape on before. Just curious as too what to expect for tape adhesive.

I'm thinking of polishing the headlamps first of oxidation then buying the clear film protector for the lamps, then apply the eyelids. This way, if I ever need to replace or remove, it's easy - no tape gunk and you are protecting your lights from rocks.

You can get the protector film on eBay.

 

Wise idea , never thought about it, well I just got my headlights polished , and now they're like brand new :D
