Default Baking w/ CF Eyelids....safe?

hey all i have cf eyelids on my tc from scionpro? or scionsport.com? idk and i dont remember was my first mod over a year and 1/2 ago...anyways the eyelids have been on for a really long time now and i want to add clear corners to my tC and i'm wondering is it safe to bake the headlight with the eyelids on there or will they come off? i used a heat gun to put them on if that helps. also i was wondering if maybe it would be a good idea to try and take them off bake the headlight as such and re-apply them with new glue or soemthing if anyone else has tried this if you could explain how to do it or should i jsut buy new cf eyelids and replace them after i bake

You used heat to soften the glue to put them on. If heat is applied again the glue will have the same effect and they will either fall off, slide off, or come lose.

You will most likely have to take them off. Whether or not you can reapply them, I dont know.

i would say take them off because the adhesive will get soft . make sure you clean off all the extra glue left on your cover before you bake it

nooo
..the tape that you have holding eyebrows right now you will pull off the headlight and take off using something sharp like a razor or knife..
then you'll buy new tape from autozone/ pepboys/napa/walmart and tape it on the back side of CF

dont put new tape on old tape... that'll look bad! take old tape off completely and use fresh new tape
