Eyelids and blacked-out tailights on an S14

[S13Grl]

I already promised to put these pictures up, and they're pictures of the front and back of my boyfriend's (S14Guy) car. We had a discussion on eyelids and blacked out tailights.

Anyway, here are the pictures:

I remember you saying he made the eyelids himself, how'd he stick them on their? Also, how did he do the back? Other than makeing it darker, did he do anything else cauz the back looks different. What kind of exhaust is that? Do I see an innercooler? Am I rambleing? hehe

He had a company mix black paint with clear coat paint and paint the tailights. The circles were just two circular shapes that were painted over and removed. He didn't really do the headlights himself, but I guess he told the guy what to do, and I'm sure he'll comment on this later.

Heh, I meant actually behind you in your gallery. I guess thats the sentra you were just talking about huh? The silver one?

[S13Grl]

haha! no, I need to take that retarded-ass picture off. Anyway, that is not his Sentra, that's a Chevy Cavalier. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[vancouvers14]

what are the eyelids made of and how are they stuck on? &nbsp;just glued to the top of the headlights?

[S13Grl]

The eyelids are actually regular vinyl that was cut evenly with the hood line, I believe.

[DSC]

http://www.angelfire.com/dc/dsc240/what My monitor does suck pretty bad, I thought that was a sentra tho. Only cavalier i konw of that looks anything like that is like the 89's. *shrugs* oh well.

hey nice looking car, if u could find the 97-98 side skirts it would look really nice!

Just because you got them doesn't mean everyone should, meanie!!!!!!!!! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':angry:'>

[vancouvers14]

i personally wouldnt get the side skirt. &nbsp;i don't think they fit the car. &nbsp;ive never been a fan of non-flat ground effects.

[Grant]

on second thought, maybe i shouldnt get eyelids, looks like an S13 now.

[BlankFlip]

s13grl or s14guy, can u elaborate on how the eyelids were made?

[S13Grl]

How does it look like an S13? And what's wrong with S13s?

[DSC]

I think grant was saying it looked a bit more like the silvia s13 cauz its a little smaller n stuff.

[my240likenoother]

hey S13Grl how come ther r no pix of your car?<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>?? <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

did someone say se-r?
*dreams*

thats nice how he did his lights i like his wheels!

so he cant take the rear lights off cause its painted on correct irena?

[Grant]

I dunno, it looks like the eyelids block out quite a bit of light. Nothings wrong with S13's.

[dmaestro]

Whatever floats your boat. &nbsp;Eyelids are about as cool as Altezza tail-lights IMHO. :o

i knew somebody w/out eyelids was gonna say something like that, just please don't nebody elaborate on it n be all stupid n start a stupid f*ckin' rice discussion again cuz those r just annoying.

[S13Grl]

Camppain: I guess he could remove it with paint remover...

My240likenoother: I don't have my S13 anymore, no point of putting pictures up...

Flippy: Thanks...

[nismo270r]

Actually I used to have eyelids on my car awhile back. I made them myself out of 7yr vinyl. The same stuff used for a lot of decals. I just got two sheets...used the straight side of one to place where I wanted it on the light...stuck it on, smoothed it out, and cut it with a razor underneath the hood so you couldn't see it. They looked decent and the lights looked pretty badass at night too. My front lip now matches the rest of my car and I took ALL stickers off...I think my car looks completely different now...which is a good thing I guess. Anyways...here's the pics:

nismo270r, nice car <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> . would u happen to have ne pics to post of before u changed it n all?

[vancouvers14]

looks like i've found my next weekend project... &nbsp;where does one buy sheets of vinyl?

[S13Grl]

I think you can get them at graphics shops and small print places... not sure though.

[Grant]

I just want to know if it blocks out a lot of light, I don't want to do it, if it screws up my ability to see at night.

[S13Grl]

It doesn't block out at night.

[S13Grl]

I meant the ones my boyfriend has.

[BlankFlip]

can u ask him to post n tell us exactly what the shop did or whatever?

[S13Grl]

If he doesn't get a chance, I'll get the full story from him.

[nismo270r]

Mine blocked out a little light as you can see...but it didn't affect the ability to see at night at all. &nbsp;Worked out nicely <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[S13Grl]

You know, my boyfriend's ones probably also block out light, but it's not too noticable since it's flat. I don't know...

ok Irena stop posting so i can freakin catch up! gawd <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

lol.... eyelids should be more defined:
http://members.aol.com/a7r/sidesilvia.jpg

that said, I went back to no eyelids.

[sykikchimp]

personal opinion.. &nbsp;don't lke the tail lights. &nbsp;Like the 180sx ones better (yeah I know their more expensive),

Do like the eyelids. &nbsp;I think Ace is right though. &nbsp;More defined is better.

[S13Grl]

That looks really cool, but he didn't really want to go for that look; he just wanted it even with the hood, so it doesn't look as round. I really like the look, honestly, and if I were to ever get eyelids on my future S14, that is what they'd look like <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>. I think it's also a matter of personal opinion.

[sykikchimp]

yeah, completely opinion. &nbsp;I think they way ace had it it looked like 97-98 headlights

[Zenki Two40]

yeah, they really do look like baby skylines, which is why i like the zenki s14's more. check these pics out:

that's actually a skyline (at least i'm pretty sure it is), i'm not sure actually what kit that would be for it though. i just posted it cuz aceinhole reminded me again of how the 95-96 240's r really like a baby skyline.

[mistert]

hmm, so i guess thats a GTS? i was thinking it was some sort of conversion, cause i've seen it done before. i thought the R33 had much wider rear fenders? also the way the front seems a tiny bit wider than the rest of the body led me to believe that it was some sort of conversion. oh yeah...and the wheels

[Zenki Two40]

yeah, i was thinking the same thing 2, but it should be a gts or gts-t, unless it's a really nice conversion. guess we could try comparing it to these r33's as well though, they've all got different front bumpers though.

[sykikchimp]

Has anyone tried putting those skyline headlights on a 240??that would be SUPER hot.

[mistert]

i dunno, but i know there have been full front end conversions. that one down on the bottom is HOT...needs an rb25det transplant to match <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

[Zenki Two40]

i kinda like the red s14 w/ the recaro seat better than those :biggrin:

[nismo270r]

It's been done alright...I really don't think it looks right though...they just look too wide or something...

doesent icetekguy do decals? mabe since you are so nice you would like to sell strips of vinyl and mail them to us, id like to do this

I don't think he's looked at this topic yet, so I'll bring it back up to the first page.

R33 Skyline Front on a s13 HB. That would make it a Skyleighty or something <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

IMHO, its UGLY. Stick with the s13 Silvia Front. But its sure unique.

[BlankFlip]

i dunno, i've never seen that before so this is my first impression, i like it. the &quot;skyeighty&quot; seems pretty nice.

[240sxspeedracer1]

I think the side view sucks but the front view looks nice

[burgy240]

I kind of like it! &nbsp;At least it's unigue!!! &nbsp;Still beats most of whats out there also. &nbsp;Definately like it from the front better though!

[uuninja]

Those eye lids look really nice. I like the way the s14b looks a lot better with them.

[Jeff]

you think window tint can work on the tail lights to make the same effect?

to mask or to cover completely? &nbsp;with window tint light will bleed through, but with a dark enough tint to actually black out the lights I think there wouldn't be enough light to be visible enough to be road worthy. &nbsp;I guess there's only 1 way to find out. &nbsp;I've found myself looking at the stuff at PepBoy's, but never tried it.

[Jeff]

I was thinking about like 16% or whatever the one is around that, not the limo tint. and to just cover the whole light. I would imagine that it should be ok..Hopefully still legal.

[teamcapsule]

That red one has got a R32 front, not a R33...

I'm really tempted to reply to this but... but... Grant, what should I do?

[duderiffic]

Those eyelids make the front end more like a Mazda... I think it looks better stock. &nbsp;The 95-96 lights aren't that bad!! &nbsp;I guess that's what's cool about cars... each to their own right?

ok I finally decided to post a reply since you all need to know so bad . I (my decal friend) used regulag black vinyl from boat/car decals , and drew a pencil line across the head lights even w/ where the hood over hangs , he had to use a heat gun to get the wrinkles out from curling over the top of the lights .
