Default Eyelids

Not the overlay but the real eyelids, does anyone have a good pic of them on a tc? I am thinking about getting some but I just want to make sure it like as much as I think I will.

the only real eyelids ive seen is in CF and it doesnt look too bad either.. personally id rather spend 10 or 15 dollars on vinyl rather than 50+ dollars on eyelids.. but thats just me.

You can find some actual eyelids on eBay occasionally... but like ^^ said, it's probably better to just get overlays that are cheaper and ready to put on than the others you have to have painted (or get CF).

I don't know.. Are they vinyls?


Haha. I just wanted to show him that you can't really tell if it's vinyl or not. I like them. They're Bat's most recent lid kit. It's called the tch1B kit. This one comes down to meet the hood whereas the first kit (tch1) didn't.

actually as soon as I saw them I could tell they were vinyl without a problem because of how thin they are. I am wanting to get something that has a 3d effect to it. Thats why in my first post I said "Not the overlay but the real eyelids" If you like them more power to you but trying to change my mind is pointless.

I'll put my 2 cents in then shut up. With Vinyl, it will come flush with the hood and fenders. The thing I dont like about the fiberglass ones is that they sit higher then the hood and fenders because of thickness. Plus they cost alot more, them and you have to paint them. Just me 2 cents. I'll shut up now.

I have a pretty good match for FM. In fact, I've sold quite a few of my Overlays in this finsih with no issues whatsoever from my customers .

Carbon fiber eyelids can be found at showstoppersusa.com, but they're around $70 I believe and they'd need to be painted.

I see. I vaguely remember having seen them on this site a long, long time ago... I don't know though. Good luck with it.
