I'm trying to install some carbon fiber eyelids (the real ones - not the thin vinyl overlay) and they aren't going on correctly because the thickness of them is making it all uneven. I tried spraying it down with soapy water and I got them in the correct position but I can't get them to smooth out.. what should I do?

Here's some pics:

Thanks Kishan!

 

o0o those look bad man...idk i would think one way would be to heat it? but im not so sure...when i installed mine they went on pretty well...but the top center of my eyelids have kind've lost their adhesion...but its not very noticeable.

 

where did ya get those real CF eyelids if ya dont mind asking? thanxz!

 

you have to do some cutting.. some trial and error.. then you're all good. took me literally 2 hours to put mine on.

The quality is excellent, too. It's just the installation thats a b!tch.

 

ahh, i remember someone posting some problems they had with those cf eyelids from showstoppers. he found out later that they use a template that isn't really accurate.

 

Did you use soapy water too?

 

wow those look pretty bad.......ususally u just use soapy water and move them into position.....have u called the company u bought them from?

 

I got mine form Viniati and they went on fine, my friend and I did it in 30 min. look in my profile for pics or you can click here:

are yours from showstoppersusa.com? or somewhere else cuz these CF eyelids look tight on the BSP tC.

 

i might have to get rid of vinyl and cop me some CF eyelids!

 

I just installed the sportline cf eyelids, they look great, but there are a few wrinkles on the bottom. Anyone know how to smooth those out?
