I got the R-Magic Fiberglass eyelids from Vividracing... Didn't want the sticker kind, nor the carbon fiber sticker kind... wanted something thicker, like plastic, and that's the R-magic.

EVO Rs are stickers.. thick looking stickers.. kinda like the B-Pillar stuff.

R-Magic, Fiberglass plastic thingy. I'll get some pics posted soon... if I can get my digi cam working.

And Mikeb... remember how you said you didn't like that tiny gap thingy? Well on these R-magics, there is still a tiny itsy bitsy gap on the side. Oh wells. You just gotta see this in person for yourself. My g/f thinks it makes my car look even more girly now.

I'll concur with that. I have had my CF evo-r ones for a couple of months now and they are stuck on me, just like the bandaid commercial. They are very thick, just like the B Pillars you can buy at Rosenthal. This material is thicker than a quarter and I am very pleased. The eyelids are another item I am hoping to replicate though it will be a bit later due to the other projects I am working on first.

Evo-R will sell their carbon fiber eyelids painted. I bought theirs in Winning Blue 2 months ago. The paint matches perfectly, and they look fantastic.

We did a group buy for Evo-r eyelids, and got them at a reasonable price. They are good quality flexible plastic it seems with an excellent paint job. Some had some inperfections but were fixed! Some also complained of the eyelids not fitting the whole lense. Check out our site for more details and photos.
