Brand New Accolade Eyelids

Dave over at Accolade was nice enough to send me over some prototype eyelids that will be hitting the market soon. I was able to score them for free as long as I was willing to paint them myself. The end result is pretty good in my eyes.

Your car looks pissed.

Can we get a shot from the front, except lower to the ground and maybe back 10-20 feet or so? Looks nice so far. Did you paint them YOURSELF, or did a shop do it? If a shop did, cost?

I painted them myself with paint bought off of www.paintscratch.com - wow, you'd think I was a walking advertisement for Accolade and Paintscratch!

Here's a shot from a little lower.

Lookin good Mugatu.
It would be nice if they had posted prices on their site instead of having to email all my info first.

I'm not sure what they were made of - though I know they WEREN'T made of vinyl. They were quite rigid and molded to the shape of the lights. They are adhered with some exterior double stick tape. I taped every square inch of the eyelids so they aren't going anywhere.

Post some pics when you get them on - I'd be curious to see the difference if there is any. In the very least we can keep all these Accolade eyelids in one thread.

i just got an email from Dave at Accolade and he said that he will do a group buy for a minimum of 5 people. email him at david@body-kit.com for details. i would post his price that he sent me to tell everyone but I am pretty sure that it's against forum rules to do so.

They look okay. Not very necessary.
