View Full Version : eyelids
fbords 02-16-2005, 02:44 PM I'm looking to get some eyelids to give the front of my xB a little more attitude. Are most or all of them just vinyl? That's what it seems. If that's the case I'll get them from my local graphics guy. By the way, how do the vinyl eyelids look?
ugly_duck 02-16-2005, 05:00 PM check the group buy section right now there is an awesome deal on plactic, like your bumper plactic, eyelids for 40 in paintable black or 70 for painted. Its in the sponsored sales forum under
JDM eyelids or something like it.
Join the list.

Yeah Mazda6 eyelids, I hope they are made of plastic this time.
I was one of the first to buy the 1st style, they are made of like rubber or something. It was also said that they were primed & ready for paint too but mine were not. My xB is the pic of the Blue xB with the unpainted eyelids in one of the threads. They were just taped on in the pic to give people an Idea of what it would look like. In the pic you could actually see they are a glossy black rubber & not ready for paint. They actually didn't look to bad but when the headlights were on at nite they looked terrible. I took them off, I would rather have the NISH ones, they are a little pricey but very nice! Not to knock Mazda6 cause he is a really nice guy, but I learned that this is one of those parts that you get what you pay for !
Its just a matter of opinion on what a person likes & I would rather go NISH with this. :wink:
If you like the first style I will sell you my set for $30.00 Shipped - They are brand new & have never been perm. mounted.
fbords 02-24-2005, 02:36 AM i think i agree
2NDSQAR 02-28-2005, 09:13 AM Hey peeps:
If you guy's want, I could give you all a price break on the eyelids, if you can get a group together, like a club, or even a partial sponsor, ( there are some requirements )
just e-mail me your respons and we can get thing going. I like to help out if I can.
Thanks Nish.... ( nishdesigns@hotmail.com )

Max2k 02-28-2005, 10:13 PM Hit up someone reputable, those plastic ones strike me as crappy.

Orataro 08-08-2005, 04:05 AM They can be bought from me! :lalala:
Only a limited number were made and currently out of stock. Any plans to make more? Well, lets say they maybe mass produced very soon in CF. :lalala:

sensez 08-08-2005, 06:54 AM will they make one for the dual halo projectors?
sen.
06PolarWhitexB 08-12-2005, 03:12 AM im a newb so bear with me..lol....Does Nish have a website? My xB will be here in 2 weeks and I'd like to order some stuff.
windowtint 08-12-2005, 05:01 AM got 3 or 4 months to kill while waiting for your "Nish" eyelids? cuz you'll need it. Of course you'll get the obligatory "they're going in the mail right away!" every 3 days....
superfreestyle 08-12-2005, 05:32 AM hand made, high quality parts are very hard to come by, nish at www.nish-designs.com is one of the best at making these products. so what if he takes a few weeks? what kind of shop would give you that quality and take a lesser time? he even makes custom parts if you request... in my opinion nish is one of the best
TheDanger 08-12-2005, 04:56 PM heres the mazda6 ones painted BSP

Max2k 08-12-2005, 09:54 PM Nish designs might do good work, but it isn't the only custom fiberglass shop on the planet. Call around and have some made locally.
Eyelids aren't exactly an involved fiberglass project, either. DIY wouldn't be that hard.

WEEKS? "weeks" would be 'ok'. It took MONTHS. Even that might be 'ok' if I didn't still have about 15 e-mails still in my inbox all saying basically the same thing "I got'em going out right away...", "they're done, you'll have them this week", "they're done, you want them painted?", "lost your address", etc etc etc ... then 5 weeks later...
And as far as what kind of shop would give you that quality and take a lesser time? .... ummm... well lets see... I made a handful of sets and gave them away for FREE to locals. Weel, each set took me maybe an HOUR? maybe two for a few of the more custom shaped versions. I sure as heck aint heard anyone complain about qaulity. I don't know - ask "Dansthunder", he got the last set, that set looks almost identical to the 'nish' pattern. See what he thinks about the whole hour I put into them.
To anyone who can work with 'glass, making eyelids is "Fiberglassing 101" stuff. (and as far as 'if you can do 'glass so well then, then why did you use Nish!?!!!' - because I have an assload of work everyday to do and throwing someone a lousy $100 to save me the headache is worth it - unless I then have to chase down the job for 3 months...).
There are lots of people out there making these things - if you aren't going to do it yourself, at least buy from someone who will do the work for you without having to be threatened to get the job done.

Thats if you can even get him to return emails so you can buy something from him. Not a very good business practice.
FrankenScion 08-12-2005, 11:54 PM will they make one for the dual halo projectors?
sen.
I second that. I've been searching for a one-piece eyelid for the dual projectors for a while. I thought I had one from Nish, but he quit responding to emails.
Max2k 08-13-2005, 04:09 AM Make your own. Just whip out the masking tape and go to town. FG isn't that hard or expensive to play around with.
FrankenScion 08-13-2005, 12:53 PM I wouldn't even have a clue where to begin.
latinxb 08-14-2005, 03:34 PM These are mine..got em' from MazdaStuff....

sarcasmkillsme 08-14-2005, 03:59 PM I bought a front face finisher from Orataro. I got the emblem cutout filled and i put on my billet grill. What do you guys think? Please excuse the ugly stock...ness....

Max2k 08-14-2005, 05:15 PM Looks like it's supposed to be there.
TheIcon 08-15-2005, 11:53 AM I agree making your own is not difficulat. Its a nice small project for someone who hasn't worked with fiberglass before. You could make your own eyelids for about $25.(not painted) if you used resin and a small packet of fiberglass mat from HomeDepot.
If someone wants info on how to do the project pm me.

That's what I want, but without the humps for stock headlights.
2tone_xB 08-15-2005, 11:01 PM tight work Chris but damn, look at all them bugs. haha.
2tone_xB 08-15-2005, 11:11 PM i love my Nish tails and all, but yeah, that 3month wasn't wasn't worth it.
so i doubt i'll order eyelids or anything else from him...
my bBist silver carbon fiber hood should be coming in soon,
so if i order eyelids, not sure what color to get? black sand pearl or silver streak mica?

FrankenScion 08-17-2005, 02:10 AM Is there going to be anything behind the grill? It looks kind of bear. I like the overall look though.
I still would like one-piece eyelide though, I like the grill I have now.
VirginiaxB 08-17-2005, 10:11 PM i like that last one....especially if it was painted body color
Orataro 08-19-2005, 01:02 AM A different type of eyelid. Sidemarker Eyelid.
