Michael T's Gen 2 vinyl Eyelids version 2.

As many that requested this in this shape and size and not to mention as perfect of a color match as ever for pearl. This pearl has the metallic in it and it matches perfectly in my opinion.

If anyone is interested, please let me know and specify that you want Gen 2 vinyl Eyelids version 2. (Because I had another one a while ago, which we'll refer it to as version 1. http://www.imagestation.com/album/pictures.html?id=2124827183)

Available in 3 different vinyl: BLACK, PEARL, CARBON FIBER
1 Pair $20
2 Pair $30

Prices includes shipping to the lower 48 states. Please add an additional $3 to Hawaii and Alaska. About a week turnaround time to ship. ***Please be patient since first orders may take a lil bit since I'm still putting together instructions for applying these to your headlights.

My paypal id is michael40507@yahoo.com

I'm still trying to find more colors to match our cars. If
Thanks,
Michael

Nice job !

Looks nice especially with the orange deflector off.

But it seems like the InStyleGraphics eyelids tho...

1. Does any light come through the vinyl?
2. Does the vinyl interfere with the light output/pattern?

Biggie - if you wanna do it right, then you'll wanna paint right on the headlights - otherwise you'll curl the vinyl by painting it and it will look like a$$ when you're done!

it was done way before you did yours just to let you know.

hey jeff, so its not a good idea to get them painted? i might just give it a try though and see what happens.

by **kpxboi0619** » Mon Mar 12, 2007 5:20 pm

yea I know it was done by mah homie like 3 years ago with his 2004 Solara SE

hmm, it looks ugly. not my taste.

biggie - you won't be happy with the results.

1) Spray paint is always inferior to a real paint job - especially side-by-side like that.

2) You won't get a smooth finish even with canned clear coat.

3) Paint will most likely eat up the vinyl and turn it into cottage cheese.

4) if steps 1-3 don't happen, then it will surely flake off when it dries!

I'd say - have a set of headlights professionally painted at a body shop so they'll match and look good... unless you can find an exact match vinyl that is.

Sure thing bro - I'd really hate to see you waste your time and money and be really unhappy about the results! Trust me - I've done enough painting over the last 30 years to know first hand (yeah - I've tried just about everything!)

Let's hope somebody comes out with a matching vinyl soon! Lunar Mist wouldn't be a bad find either!

^^Jeff is right, I wouldn't recommend anyone painting vinyl, best to search for vinyl that matches our cars^^ I just don't have enough time to get samples at this time and the demand for other colors are quite low.

Will you have that version 2 in a LUNAR MIST? When I saw that eyelid I was like that's it that's what I've been looking all over the net for.

I'm glad that you like them and I'm still in search of more colors to match and will keep you guys updated.
