Eyelids
 

Where can I get eyelids/eyebrows for my 2002 P5?

make em'! its way cheaper and you can make it however you want. i made mine looks hella dope. cost of materials (1yard of vinyl to match my car) $2.50 time to make it 20 minutes all the props you get from fellow tuners priceless!

What is it you used? Vinyl adhesive? I cant get that stuff to stick to anything I use it on.

with vinyl sticks it will skrew up the lights when u take them off and if you use white the lights will show them them.
at least thats what i think

Just pay a visit to any sign shop and buy a pice big enough to make a couple of sets. I got my material for free just for asking.

Here is a long shot of my car and a close-up of the eyelid. My eyelid is rather mild compared to some I've seen but I wanted to make sure it didn't interfere with the light output.

I made a pattern for this. I could try and scan it and make it available for download some place?

hey foster i also have a red p5 and yours looks reallll nice.
i'm loving the rims, cant wait to get my white rims, i'm looking at the tenxo zt-6? i think it is, also some other style tenzos but def. white


also nice eyelids 2, the vinyl stickers i see at shops are never the right color red, at least i dont think, and also how does it look with the lights on? does the color change? do u have a pic?

The vinyl I have is almost a perfect match. Guess I just got lucky. It's Avery material, I don't know if the 3M stuff is as good a match.

With the lights on the vinyl becomes translucent and gives a neat effect, kind of glows. I'm sure this isn't something everyone would like but I do.

Yeh, some of the Tenzos are real nice and almost all of them are available in white. Most of them have 42mm offset so they will fit exactly like mine which is pushing the limit but I've had absolutely no problems even with the Eibach springs.

I dunno I'm confused by this whole "eylelid" thing. I mean I went to some drag/show thingy last weekend and there were all kinds of stupid looking Volkswagons that had that shit. Every body though it was the hype shit, and I was I think the only one going WTF? Why are they there? It looks kinda, uhh tacky, I guess is the word, I mean there were even fuckers there who had like fiberglass ones, and carbon fibers ones, and I was like "seriously dude, WTF?" I don't get it, what's the purpose of them? They don't really make the car look nicer, it just looks like the headlights are missing their tops. But like I've said before, my taste is kinda odd anyway with all the Psychopathic shit on the Juggalo Wagon. Oh well, the red stuff does match nicely on that red one.

I think most people put them on to make the car appear more aggresive. I have seen nice ones and seen ones that made me say "WTF". But I am thinking of getting a pair, or maybe just making some if I cant find some to my liking.

Oh, OK more aggressive, errrm well I'll try to think of that next time I see a car with those things on em. Maybe it'll make sense. Oh and I almost forgot, Foster... uhh what's up with that big ass "mazda" banner? Are you worried people might mistake your car for a Toyota Matrix or sumthin? I mean , no shit its a mazda.

It's there because I like it.

Why do you have a "big ass" jpeg in your signature? Same reason I'll bet. Are you afraid someone will mistake you for some other Sweedenhouse? I mean, no shit you are Sweedenhouse.

lol @ foster....hey man those eyelids look good on your P5...I too have the red P5 and was thinking of white wheels, but I'm gonna go with black or gun metal...your ride looks dope...but I gotta agree with sweedenhouse that MAZDA banner is rather BIG...but like you said you like it and that's really all that matters...peace:cool:

HERES MY EYELIDS...

Yeah! Personal preference and variety that's where it's at.

It would be really boring if we all showed up on cruise night driving the exact same cars.

I may not like what someone has done to their ride but I support them because they're an enthusiast just like me.

Hey "djhyper" nice job!! Any rubbing problems with the wheel/ride height set-up?

I'm just givin ya shit, cause its like those good ole boys with their jacked up monster trucks that have a big "4 X 4" on the windshield for a banner, like duh. I dunno man I just think most people will know its a mazda, and it doesn't really need a big advertisement up there. As for my sig, well its not bigass, and its there to represent the wicked shit with second of six Joker's Cards. And for me being Sweedenhouse, uhh well no of course its me? Its just some dumbass wrestler's name I picked from ICP's Stranglemanina.
