IF there is huge interest in CF maybe they will produce them.
Im definitely willing to go with the cf eyelids, anyone else out there want these? if we get enough demand they will produce them, count me in for the cf marshall

what were you thinking of making it more agressive.

If they was to do another one, a new mold would have to be mocked up...

We didnt go to agressive becuase we didnt want to have it interfere with the lights.

Its right now in between..

I think i know what your talking about. you want it to curve from the inside of the headlight out. not just straight across.

would you wana do one off? might cost more but youll be the only one with it..

Best bet is to pre order it becuase it is sent to paint as they are ordred in batches.. So if oyu want it ready color matched by the time you get here just order online. becuase it takes about a week to get them painted.

oh and i just realized his watermarks are on there I'll take those off if he wants

Yea don't get me wrong they are perfect as they are for a nice VIP car like marshalls really got that JDM steez goin on.

I'd even like something that went from the bottom of the corner to where the hood and fender line is...so nothing over the side of the light just the inner triangle

really bad shop but, like this

I got my lids today from scionpro.com these are the lids from forjworks in hawaii. these are not fiberglass! they are plastic mold injected which is better than fiberglass. kinda like polyurethane , very flexible, better molds, wont crack! great fit. They will be for sale very soon, unpainted only! They are sweet!!!!! Great quality!!!

Looking seriously good ! I'm wincing at the cost (please forgive me, I'm cheap), but I'd really love to see how they look on a Super White ! They seem to have the visual affect of making the front of the car look wider and less bubble eyed. Perhaps it would work even better if that silver Scion badge on the upper grill came off!

Thanks DoughboyGT ... you ride looks sweet.. We are very happy you like it and Thank you for giving www.forjworks.com a chance all the way in Florida! I cant beleive these eyelids are almost at the other side of the world right now! I just love your choice of wheels the full faced wheels really matches the new XBs.

Sorry but i have to correct you on how its made.. It is vacumed formed.

A white eyelid was shipped out. Hopefully a pic of it pops up here soon.

Sorry about the price on these. But these are at fare market value.. We want to keep bringing the scion community more QUALITY products. and trust me no ones getting rich from these eyelids and we will not under cut our own work.

We thank you all for your support and giving us in Hawaii the chance to bring you a high Quality product to market!
