Or call up nissan for factory nismo ones... $160-180 painted in your colour code.

Really? I bought carmate ones for $100 but by the time I bought paint, sandpaper, primer ect ect I would have easy spent another $50 and wasted a few hours...

[Howie]

Yep each nismo eyelid has it's own stock #, so you order to your paint code (e.g. QM1).

The nismo ones are the ones that cover the horizontal part of the light correct? but they dont come down onto the light like my C west ones?

That was a good pick up, shame i dont have any mates that head over to japan regularly.

If i bought different coloured ones to what i needed (which is red) would it just be a matter of heading down to a nissan dealer and getting them painted or would it be easy to match the colour myself? Cos if its pretty simple i might just get a 2nd hand set from the forum and hopefully save some $$$.

Nah, Nissan wont do it. Go to your nearest panel beater. They'll be able to paint them for you

You wouldn't have to with nissan as they'd come in your colour. Anyhow if you go the fiberglass items then just spray it with a can of spray paint.. it's not that hard, and you wouldn't pick the difference.

Supercheap auto stocked my exact paint code (QM1) was $10 for a spray can. As I said took me a few hours as you have to do multiple coats then added a top clear coat so they wont stone chip. Very easy to paint yourself, just takes time as you need to do multiple coats.

Yeah ok that sounds like the way to go then. There is a guy on forum who is selling some, might hit him up and worry about that paint myself. Thanks for your help! Ill throw some pics up once i get it all happening!

I decided to go with a set off carmate they were $109 (which includes postage). They should be in this week. I went down to autobarn with my paint code (which i got from the paint code thread, cheers guys!) and got my colour made up in a spray can. So as soon as they arrive ill get them painted up, fitted and get some happy snaps.

Eyelids rolled up on wednesday and I finally got around to painting and fitting them. Here's a few pictures of the results.
