DIY eyelids

[ezza]

First off i know this isn't to everyone's taste but I thought I'd share my little project so far.

I couldn't find any eyelids how I wanted (matching bonnet line and being straight) so I knocked these up with a little help from a couple of friends.

Please don't ruin that car with eyelids

[xBtony]

I like em. Nice work

[Lukasss]

Looks kinda cool. admire the craftsmanship

[TougeSR20Kid]

Interesting... Got any better pics of how they look on the car? Either way cool project

[ghoti]

You could have used vinyl.

[yomisiu]

curious to see the final product

[qwerth]

nice work man, looks way better than mine

[jesse_s13]

=(...... I like the oe lights better

[Fries]

Looks very good. I'm a big fan of eyelids on ALOT of vehicles, guess I'm a ricer like that. Honestly I'm only worried about the light output now.

[riprodder]

Not quite to my taste, but kudos for doing something unique. It will definitely set your car apart.

[KiLLeR2001]

Sweet. You want to effectively cover up HALF of your available light output with stupid lids. Why not just go kouki if you're looking for something more sleek?

ps, your left side headlight is pushed in and doesn't line up with the hood. Fix that first.

[S-Nation S13]

hm..would rather have the oem look than that but thats just my opinion lol

[yvang07]

I like Zenkis with eyelids, imo I think it just comes down too low.

you can call is the subaru svx conversion eye lids

Here's an idea, add metal to the hood to make this shape-
(crappy paint job, but you get the idea)

Well, I thought he asked on Zenki's Unite thread, but I wanted to post it here haha

..lol i still see no point..with those lights aren't you just limiting the amount of light emitted from the bulb ????

..lol i still see no point..with those lights aren't you just limiting the amount of light emitted from the bulb ????

Oh no! Lol fail lol omg, I can't believe I overlooked that, your right, what should I do? I could make them out of perspex maybe? That way the light could still get through

[ezza]

nice work man, looks way better than mine

Seeing yours was what made me take the plunge,
I think I might end up trimming them a bit higher yet but I'm not going to be sure until I see them on and painted.
Going to mount them with Velcro joints so I can take them off and on as I please

[ezza]

Got a thin layer of filler on them today and did a tonne of sanding, still more to go to get them nice and smooth.37648

Sprayed one quick because I'm impatient and wanted a guide coat

age 25 and you think he'd use his head.

these things are useless

[ezza]

Never mind...

[shalezzz]

itd be cooler if modified your hood and fender itstead of adding plastic stuff, like vw guys do with bowser hoods

[TougeSR20Kid]

IMO it would look better if they were trimmed up a bit. It's not my style but still nice job

[HiddenCharacter]

Decent DIY but the eyelids are too thick..need to be trimmed up and paint matched.

[Turbo Nismo]

They don't look bad, but to be honest your car looks way a lot better without them. It looks super clean to have them, just my opinion.

I don't see it......

[ezza]

I started out with tape just to get an idea of what I wanted tbh

Should have mine done next month when I get other shit painted

[OBEEWON]

I like them. I think the only reason no one has produced them is they kill a lot of the light.

But that doesn't matter since they look cool. Good job Ez. Make a mold and sell them on eBay.

Dude you're an idiot. Nobody cares about your "kouki conversion" tape shit. You aren't the first one to have done this.

[ezza]

Thanks ob.
Going to keep them as one offs though

I don't want my lights to shine through them at all but right now they glow up, there not painted yet but I can't see it stopping the light all together. I'm thinking of lining them with a thin, none light letting through material, foil would work but it's too fragile...

[itsjustdaphne]

i'm sorry but this is atrocious.

anyone scrolling this with the idea in mind: please reconsider or i'll find you and rip the tape off.

[benarovi]

Seriously? You don't see the same shape???


you are so dumb

[Gary.]

you are so dumb

Shutup idiot, the basic shape is pretty similar haha.

Itll be dope when finished man!

[JDM671]

+1 for fiber glass work and craftsmanship

[z32boy]

Wow, didn't realize how many bitches there are here...........I'm just messing around till I put the kouki front end back on. Didn't realize I would upset so many little girls!
