well after last weekend, I've decided that so I don't have to spend night after night annoying my neighbours with power tools (and then feeling guilty even if it isn't late) I'm going to be seeing someone this Saturday to get a quote to have them moulded and have a small run made up. So I won't go quoting yet in case my best guess is waaay off :Oops:

Will let you guys know as soon as I know. Thanks for your patience :)

I don't think I'm going to bother getting a run done of the stick on eyelids. If people want those, please let me know (drop me an email) and i'll make them up. If the demand for them increases (for the stickies) I'll look at getting a small run done ;)

Sorry guys,

I've been waiting to confirm all of the details before posting up :)

The moulding process takes 3 weeks once the originals are finished. I'm aiming to get the originals painted next week, so it'll be about 4 weeks (once the originals are painted) till we have ready made parts :(

Price per pair is $150 :) and that will be for the bolt-ons.

They will have 2 mounting points (one at the outside, and another inthe middle of the headlight), and to accomodate those who's cars might not be as straight as we'd hope - they'll have metal brackets which will bolt the eyelid to the car (these will be supplied obviously ;) ).

It's going to cost the same for me to get stick ons made so I don't think i'm going to spend too much time worrying about them. If anyone does want stick-on's for whatever reason, email me and we'll work something out. Doesn't seem like there's too much interest for them anyway.

So i guess it's time to start taking official orders :) Please send me an email if you have any q's or would like put an order through. Pic's of the finished product will be up once the first set have been made from the mould.

Please let me know if you want them painted. Painting will cost more obviously. If you want them painted please supply me with your paint code and I'll arrange a quote.

P.S. Please make sure you email me if you are definitely interested. This will help me work out numbers :)

Will have pics in about 4 weeks :D

:P

  • 3 weeks later...

Well lads...they'tre painted and off to be moulded this afternoon :O They look great, better than I thought they would. There were a few delays with the painters, but we got there in the end.

I'm still shopping around for a good price on the paint, so if you guys can recommend any painters please PM me :)

Not long to go now :(

:D

    • Hey guys I’m chasing a Rb20det complete or bare block need a good running engine as mine has low comp 
    • You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.
    • 98 and 95 have to meet the same national fuel standards beside the actual RON.  91 has lower standards (which are quite poor really), so 95 is certainly not 91 with some octane booster. It would be an easier argument to claim 98 is just 95 with some octane boosters. Also RON doesn't specify 'quality' in any sense, only the octane number.  Anything different retailers decide or not decide to add to their 95 or 98 is arbitrary and not defined by the RON figure.
    • Anyone know alternatives to powerplus tungsten? Can't find an alternative online. 
    • 95 is just a scam outright. 98 is the real "premium" with all the best detergents and other additive packages, and at least historically, used to be more dense also. 95 is just 91 bargain basement shit with a little extra octane rating. Of course, there's 91 and there's 91 also. I always (back in the 90s early 2000s) refused to put fuel in from supermarket related fuel chains on the basis that it was nasty half arsed shit imported from Indonesia. Nowadays, I suspect that there is little difference between the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the "bargain" chains and the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the big brands, given that most of it is coming from the same SEAsian refineries. Anyway - if there's still anything to that logic, then it would apply to 95 also. 98 is only made in decent refineries and, as I said, is usually the "premium" fuel, both in terms of octane rating and "use this because it's good for your engine because it's got the unicorn jizz in it!".
