Default Eyelids...

So by all the posts, it has been brought to my attention that eyelids are are a definate "must have" within the Xd community, so I'm going to give you guys(and girls) what you want. I'm going to put together 2 or 3 eyelid kits in vinyl(paint matched) and then either plastic or fiberglass(haven't decided yet). They will be the same 3 kits, more than likely, but made from different materials. Tonight I started the fab work for the first of the designs, and I actually am really pleased with the way it turned out...I'm going to Maryland next week for a vacation, but when I get back these will going to the shop to be cut. I haven't decided what the price of the plastic ones will be, but the vinyl overlays will be somewhere in the realm of $25 shipped(no more, but could be less). Attached are the pictures for the design I came up with earlier tonight. I'm trying to keep these designs original, so if there's another design out there similar, let me know, and come up with something else.

Dope! I've been in contact with a sign company about making some vinyl overlays. Very interested in this project of yours and would really be interested in the plastic ones when you get them done.... looking good so far, keep it up

The plastic ones are going to be a pain to produce, just because I have to fab up a fiberglass set, and then make a mold of em' that I can pour the plastic into...The vinyl is cake, and I imagine I'll sell more of those just because they're cheap.

Well if you are able to make a quality plastic one in black I would buy it from you...

I'm working on putting together a fog light kit to go in those fake brake ducts, something along the lines of what Zoltiz did to his car, but they'll be bigger led's inside plastic inserts, basically along the lines of what the EK Civic Si's have.
