To answer the OP question, I love these eyelids. They are a perfect mold to the existing OEM eyebrow, easy to install, match the lines of the car and are a hell of a lot more durable than vinyl.

I might get these, but FLEA how did you paint yours? Gun, or colormatched OEM paint out of a can?

Also... clear? etc. If you would give me kind of a step by step prep and paint (materials list would be awesome also, lol) so I can do this little project.

These eyelids come already primered in black, they're ready to paint. I currently don't have a spraygun, but will be getting one soon. In the meantime I use a PPG OEM color matched paint out of a rattlecan. My friends work at a local paint shop and they set me up with paint all the time.

I apply at least 4 coats of the basecoat with about 15-20 minutes flash time in between each coat. Lightly wet sand with 2500 grit and apply 3 coats of clear coat. If I see any orange peel I'll lightly wet sand again with 2500 grit and buff to a smooth reflective finish.

Some pictures of my rattlecan work:






I'll do it for you! Send me the eyelids, $15, and your address so I can ship them back to you.

That sounds good to me. I will PM you when I get the eyelids so you can give me your paypal and address to send them to.

I was just in CA yesterday, now i'm not real familiar and I didn't search yet but are you close to AZ? Like eastern socal?
