R34 Eye Lids

[ian_and1]

Ok my carbon eye lids just arrived

now two questions

1. what is going to be the best way to fit them, sicaflex?

2. also before i fit them should i sand the top of the head light and underneath the eyelid to help it stick

will chuck some pics up tomorrow thoe after they have been fitted

[viet_boi]

use double sided tape, 3M or something like that, its really strong and will grip on.

wont need to sand the headlights or anything, just wipe it down so theres no dirty on the headlights than stick the eyelids on.

[ian_and1]

well just fitted then then read about the double sided tape anyway got some wipes cleaned all the eyelid and head light and just used some silicone and yeah there on there now will pop out and take a pic

very nice ! I should have got those eyelids instead of the stupid nismo ones that only cover half as much area ..ah well. How much did you pay for those if you don't mind me asking?

[ian_and1]

they were like $80 posted got them off a guy on ebay called jbcarbonracing i think his name was do you have a pic of your nismo one's ?

don't have a pic but I'll take one tonight and post it later .. my eyelid corners have already snapped off (the pointy bit) as they were very thin and brittle and got caugh on washing glove during a wash..didn't take much to snap them off

for only $80 I'm tempted to get some myself soon and replace mine .. my car's black but I'm not sure how the CF would go with it or if i would still have to paint them

ok my ones are like the ones in the 2nd photo here (green gtr)

thanks, that's the reason i got them to match the bonnet

[dori34]

does the carbon eyelids match the same colour of the carbon bonnet?

i've seen some where they were different shades.

[ian_and1]

mine were fine i'd send them back it that happened I'm pretty picky lol

[viet_boi]

after seeing that, so tempted to grab some for myself, makes the front look more aggressive

[ian_and1]

do it

hopefully be getting carbon boot next month and also got a impul kit sitting here painted that i have to put on

[Damo_R34]

they are the C West style eye lids, they are the goods! got them on my car.

[Granthem]

Another C west user here. Not carbon though.

I used badge tape from supercheap. Its fantastic. Sticks like anything, but if for any reason they have to come off (cops, insurance claim etc) they can be ripped off with no damage what so ever

[Granthem]

Here are mine. Oh and to the thread starter, if you ever take them off, you will notice how huge your headlights suddenly look

[tmg]

Man 34s are staunch enough without 'em, but they just make it so much better! Should get myself a copy in the same colour as my car, they'd look mad.
