Just received Silviaparts grille and eyelids

Hey guys,

Just got my Grille and eyelids from silvia parts. I got them painted and the mesh painted black. Hopefully the plan I have devised for the 'gap' (if it in fact exists on mine) will work out. I will post pics as soon as i can. Has anyone else ordered the eyelids?? have any pics???

I'd love to see your pics! How does the paint on the mesh look? Will it hold up to road abuse is the question...

Finished install, the eyelids look pretty good IMO, the paint on the mesh was also good compared to what other's were mentioning. I believe they began dipping the grille's rather than spray painting. But the paint on the underside of the grille dried as it dripped (although its not visible b/c its the bottom portion touching the upper part of the bumper). Looks good, no gap from what I can see! Only thing was that the fitment wasnt right, so I had to drill about 1/8 inch over to get the grille to fit into the stock holes under the hood. I will try to post pics ASAP!! Paint on all pieces is an exact match!

Yes, please posts pics ASAP!!! I really need to see those eyelids on a BS coupe with that grille... I haven't ordered mine yet, but I'm pretty much sold on them - can't wait to see what they look like in silver...

We have corrected the gap on the grill, and therefore, the grill is perfect. The problem you are having is not with the fitment, it's because of the positions of the holes, we will correct that too ASAP to make it absolutely perfect.

he finally got back with me after about 5 emails - they are all out of stock for now and won't be getting any again for about another month or so... that's good though, because it gives me a little time to decide if I really want them or not...
