r33 eyelids, what do you think of these??

[PashaK]

eyelids are finished but my battries in the camera have died, gotta re charge them

[PashaK]

here it is...

i think it looks better

[Tigger]

The ones you just made (pic above this post) are the best lids i've seen.

Looking very aggressive > Good job!

Can you post some more photos of that one? With more light if possible and looking staright on instead of looking down.

If you were to sell these, how much?

Cheers~!

thanx for the compliment, as soon as i get up in the morning i'll post a few more pics.

im quite happy with these eyelids, but i will have about 4 different types for people to choose from.

i knew these latest ones would be the most popular so i cut 5 pairs at work today in case i stuffed a pair or whatever.

the pair in the photo where made from 0.6mm colourbond metal (rustproof i think) sprayed with etch primer rustproof paint, 2 coats, then 3 coats of primer putty to get out any discrepencies, lightly sanded then 3 coats of gloss black followed by one smooth coat of clear laquer, looks professional i reckon.

only problem is i temporarily fastened it with double sided tape so i could post the pictures.

in the morning i'll fasten them down with silicon, that way they'll be secure, but if i decide to remove them one day the silicon will be easy enough to remove with a scraper or just by pealing it off without any damage to the headlight.

i will be selling these eyelids, probably prepared with everything i mentioned above excluding the paint and the laquer, that way all you'll have to do is spray them according to the colour of your car, and gluing them down in whatever way you want...

havent come up with a price as yet, i'll get back to you on that.

thanx for all your input guys, really appreciated.

if you have any other ideas on designs for eyelids for the r33 series 1 let me know ([email protected]) or if you want eyelids for any other car let me know, only problem is i'll need at least the outline of the top of the headlight, if you know what i mean. the way i designed these eyelids was trial and error (cut 1, run to the car, check it, alter it, ran back to the computer, redesigned it, cut it, tried again) or if theres anything you need laser cut also let me know, i have a post in the sau classifieds on laser cut jobs, go there for more info...

[PashaK]

ok, im awake and here are some more pics...

[INASNT]

whats with the paint on ur front bar? Looks faded as.

How have you got the metal to bend and sit flat exactly onto the headlight without sticking up?

[PashaK]

my bodykit hasnt been sprayed as yet, thats just a primer.

the metal is very flexible, with the right adhesive, you just fold it around the headlight and it'll hold

[PashaK]

well, i think im happy with the final product of the last set of eyelids i posted.

i will be putting these in the sau classifieds for $30 a pair, sprayed with 2 coats of etch primer for rust prevention, followed by 3 coats of primer putty, so all you have to do is spray them the colour you want, and glue them on.

thanx again for all your replies and opinions, it helped alot.

There goes the resale value of my eyelids.

Is it legal to convert your parkers to indicators? Because that would be perfect for my new front bar...

[PashaK]

i dont know but how will any1 ever know that your parkers arent meant to be in the front bar and the indicators where your parkers are??

i did it because i thought the orange indicators in the front bar look crappy. plus i wanted some decent spotlights, now i do

laser cut the brackets for them too... laser sure comes in handy

[Turbo1958]

Hi I'm Bill .. was woundering if you can tell me where you got that front bar from.. I like it .

[P1E]

I did some research and not having parkers is a defect. Back to the drawing board...

[PashaK]

oh well, looks better without them

[PashaK]

in case you guys dont know, i am now selling my eyelids in the sau classified section

[Mr_G]

[Mr_G]

[Kor'axis]
