Looks good guys..

One thing about Color Matching and the paint used. Its very hard to get a perfect match using just the color codes becuase all the paints have differant variances becuase of where the cars were built. We could ask you all for your Vin numbers but than there a some times up to 5 or more Variances for each vin. number. But than all will be close to the Color. THe paint shop just recomended that we just go by most used Vin.

The only other way to get it really close to your color is to have your paint Scanned and mixed to your shade. but even that wont match perfect. Just like mines its close but not the same shade.

The hard part is we dont have the cars here to take it up a notch and get the paint colors closer to your cars paint.

Ligther Colors like White and silver and that gold rush especially is very hard to color match.

The paint is out of our hands and out sourced to a paint shop in Hawaii that does quality work. I seen the amount of time put into painting and preping the eyelids its about 2 hours of labor each. The final step is color sanding and buffing.. something that many shops wouldnt do for just an eyelid.

We thank you for your input and your purchase.. we hope to have the new product out soon!

We are very sorry that we cant get the paint to match pefectly.

grill looks dope, but kinda looks weird with the lower and side vents (being the opposite direction)

I really gotta pick up the eyelids and the grill though...

The grill looks awesome, but i think I would like a Bottom grill as well, one that would accomodate the OEM Fogs if possible...

Hey, dude!

You're clearly asking for our support (the potential market place, that is)! I just placed an order for the eyelids (bulk of "free" cash going into my '90 Eclipse GSX repairs and improvements). Reward me and the other interested parties by providing an accessable price for the upper grill! It's easy to price one's products out of the market (especially during an economic recession and for an economy vehicle). However instead, one can open the door to serious acceptance and enthusiasm by making the price affordable !

PS. Of course, if your target is snob appeal, don't feel slighted if the orders just don't materielize !
