try tfbdesigns.com, i have some but the yellow is alittle off,but black or carbonfiber,or brushed aluminum would be straight,they have more than just eyelids too.

 

Any idea how the CF looks?

 

^^^thats where i got mine.....

 

me too - black, I love em' great quality

 

how much do they charge? i guarantee you can find a vinyl shop that is local to you that will give away free scraps or at least next to nothing. this mod only takes time and patience. i have done 3 focus headlights, and 2 cobalt headlights. it feels better when you can say "i did this."
besides, the pre-cut ones only give you one chance. you mess up and your out that much money.
if anyone ever wants tips on how this is done WITHOUT 3rd party designs that limit your imagination, please ask.

 

please tell

 

i had ron paint em on my 07 color matched the car and did a perfect job for 25 bucks!!!

 

also the ones they are selling look yucky, i needed more coverage then that

 

i painted mine with duplicolor primer and body color paint. cheap and worked great, just takes some masking and patience, and a sunday paper if you leave the lights on the car like i did.

 

thats about 2 hours of work and $20 at parts store for paint/primer/ adhesion promoter/clearcoat/sandpaper. That includes taking the lights off. The first time I did them I screwed it up bad so sanded it down to bare plastic, adhesioon promoter to make primer stick to plastic, primer x2, color x3, clear x6
The white crap is wax from not getting off my ass to take it off. the stuff on the hood is rock chips that are getting fixed soomer or later.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

 

do i seriously need to do a how-to?
im sure, you get the overall concept of how to put these on. wow, this is something ill tackle when i revamp my Mach HID's.
I WILL DO A HOW-TO on eyelids this winter, i promise. its a 2 hour process and i cant simply tell people bits and pieces. nor can i walk you through it on the phone. tips/hints can be told though.
sorry fellas

 

I went to a local AutoTrim Design shop (they're a franchised vinyl graphics shop, I'm sure they're in the US). Dood came out and put masking on my headlight and drew the stencil to my specifications ... I came back the next day and he installed them, $40. Fortunately, you and I have pitch black cars, T-Miller, so colour matching isn't really an issue. Now that I've had 'em for a bit, I think the need to be a bit more 'mean' looking, but at $40, I'll get 'em redone in a year or so, as vinyl undoubtedly will get scratched or faded over time. I'm pretty happy with the result, though ...

Scrammer, you can do the how to with vinyl and I'll do one with paint.

 

how much clear do you use? how long after the paint is sprayed do you remove the masking tape? i think i waited too long and the edge of the paint/clear chipped away with the tape.

see, i originally used paint for my eyelids, but after this issue, i went back with vinyl

 

Eyelids.




This tells me you didnt wait long enough. When the paint is ready to remove the tape, it will come right off without removing any of the paint on the eyelids.
Best to let it sit overnight at minimum.

 

dude, the paint set for a week! i used Krylon Fusion with Krylon clear

 

thats why
fusion sucks
next time, (if there is a next time) use duplicolor automotive spray.) looks 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000x better

 

kewl, thanks!
do i clear the whole lens to smooth the masking line or to i just clear the paint?

 

I just cleared the paint while everything was taped off. You can definitely check into clearing everything though. Cant see what it'd hurt.
