i forgot a word in my post, i said he SHOULD look at the kei office eylids, and then i recommended yours that you sell lol. I was actually pushing him to buy from you because you have the KEI replica for a pretty good price.

I know what he wants arent KEI, i siad he should look into them but he doesnt like them

The s15 headlights were the first things i thought of! I think whatever front bumper you have with these eyelids plays a HUGE role in what the final product ends up looking like...

I would suggest make your own, out of vinyl like a few others have said or any type of 2 part epoxie that is maliable, Ive made several designs from the later.

In a few weeks I'll be cutting the lenses of junked headlights to create a base mold. I'll see if I can make a few sets

you definately do not need to cut up the headlights to make molds for eyelids

These are made from a sheet of plastic, its like 50 pages back in the Super autobacs thread in multimedia.

If you wanted to get fancy, you can put aluminum foil over the lights and lay wet fiberglass right on them. just watch for dripping liquids that flow out before hardening.

How much do you guys think it would cost to have a body shop make something like this? It's a very basic little piece so I wouldn't imagine it being much, but I want to get an idea before I go ask the guys in my area.

I'm really digging these eyelids. I dunno why. I'm really tired of looking at all of the R-Magic and Kei Offices; they all look the same (No offense to owners of these lids, they look great but they're pretty much the only eyelids out there). These are a nice, very aggressive alternative that would look fantastic with the right front end.

Try using electrical tape (the big ones) for eyelids. There are different colors to choose from. If you can't afford the real eyelids, this is it...not joking

Cut them to your preference. I have a friend that did it before on his 92 Nissan 240sx...on the rear lights, he made 2 round ones on each light, looks cool.

I never tried it on mine...thought you guys might ask

Ever think about making a thread just for yourself where you can tell everyone about the cheapest ways to do mods? These mods would not only save you a lot of money, short term, but would be guaranteed to make your car look its absolute worst.
