why not just use vinyl??? thats what im going to use....cheaper and u dont have to modify it...if u screw up, just peel it off and start over with new....

(im pretty sure Jamolie used Vinyl for his eyelids....im using his picts to base what i want mine to look like)

You can use accord ones, but you have to modify the f#ck out of them. I just took mine off, and am in the process of remodifying them to fit better. It's harder than plastic, cuz i'm using carbon fiber ones, and I don't want to screw them up. Vinyl is a cheap way to do it, but it is possible with accord eyelids, they need shortened, and then u have to cut pieces off that don't let it hug the light

Seems like vinal would fade and get damaged in the car wash. Plastic or CF is the only way to do eyelids. Besides, if you have a Dremell tool, you can modify any kind of light plastic, depending on what attatchments you have for it.

i would have to disagree with this. i have vinyl eyelids on mr whip for about two-three months and no sign of fadding. i think u should take the vinyl route.

Speaking of Jamolie...anyone know how to get intouch with him? (like an email address?) I've got a few questions for him about his CL he had...)
