Generally not a huge fan of the lids, but they work pretty good in that color. Pimp ride
Yeah, never really liked the eyelids out there because of how thick they were but the vinyl looks good and blends in more to look like an extension of the hood.

I need to find some kind of adhesive remover to use for removing my eyelids. The headlights have some kind of protective cover like a clear bra over them and I'm worried that removing the adhesive on the eyelids will also damage that cover.


Looks like a headlight protector or part of the clear bra kit was applied directly to the headlight



Glued all the way around



Eyelids are held in place with strips of adhesive but not full coverage, you can slide something under the ends of it



Doesn't 100% match the hood which has a clear bra, slightly more reflective.

i like it, you should vinyl around the vent openings on the bumper black to give the vents some extra depth and match the grille

Agreed. If anyone is interested, now that I have templates, I can make them in any available vinyl color including carbon fiber or chromes.

Picked these up for $100 on Craigslist.

Have new rubber for them I got yesterday too😉

They need work but they will be my next fun project, thinking maybe powder coat gunmetal????

Ideas?

My current passenger side is pretty much mint. If they can get it off in good shape, I'll be more than happy to send your way for a few $$

Agreed. Gonna get them repaired and coated and we will see the end result. They are def not ideal, but for $100 bucks I figured what the hell. The tires alone on these are worth three times that.

What you really need to do is to get some paint correction done. It'll remove all those fine scratches/swirls and really bring a sheen to your paint.

Also try Goo Be Gone of Goof Off to get the lids off, they both work great.

The whole front end is covered in a clear bra and that's what you're looking at. Still researching what to use to get the swirls off that polymer material without damaging it, paint is fine.

Installed a set of D2 racing coilovers!
Definitely too low for a V35X, low n slow is now the name of the game!
One of the rear coilovers installed!

Incoming ricer G... always loved demon eyes. The Memorial Day sale had me thinking.

Will reinstall lights tomorrow.

Not a G by any means, but this is the first RWB Porsche in NC. The reveal was at my schools parking deck so of course I went.
