What are better eyelids to go with? pros/cons?

 

just do vinyl .. i had fiberglass and it flew off while i was on the hi way... hehe .. saves u money too.

 

... and if some one wants to be an *** they might just pull one right off

 

vinyl looks cheap from up close and light also goes through it. get fiberglass or cf. cost more but it doesn't look cheap and it won't shread if a rock hit it on the freeway

 

not to mention, but in case you didn't know. (since you're in CT) vinyl gets brittle in the cold, anyone who has scraped their windows and hit the vinyl knows what i'm talking about.

 

I would think fiberglass would look better, due to the fact that they can be paint matched... dont know if you can get some vinyl in thunder grey...

 

how did u attach your eyelids? i used 3m doulbsided tape and mine don't budge. i've done triple digits on the high and they are still on.

after looks stupid, those things are WAY too big.

 

their photoshopped.. i didnt do it but you get the point

 

... Melaz.. i say go for it.. they look nice but just get the thin ones.. how much did it cost u to paint the sides of ur hood?

 

ive got the cf eyelids from rrm and as long as you tape/glue em down right theyll work great, ive had mine on for more then 2 years now

 

I finished painting my fiberglass eyelids from RRM and I'm probably going to install them this weekend along with my Evo VII fiberglass grill from RRM. I plan to use the 3M double sided tape. I think all the snow is going to be gone after this weekend.. looks like temps are going to be in the 40's and rising from there.
I'd go with the fiberglass ones if I were you. They are great quality and look perfect painted. Just buy a spray kit of your paint color from www.paintscratch.com. They have step by step instructions on how to paint them. I did it in my basement and it turned out PERFECT.

 

tyler i like it man.. It's a go! get FG eyelids. im also gonna paint the sides of my hood and use fg eyelids. get it done for one of our summer meets!

 

Its not painted. the eyelids and the sides of teh hood are photoshopped. im just wondering if i should go ahead and go through with it..
