R32 Eyelids

[NoFX_Hardcore]

Hey,

So I just bought some carbon fibre eyelids for my r32...

What's the best stuff to fit them with? The double sided tape I have isn't working because there seems to be a slight twist in the eyelids the way they are shaped... They're different to other skylines coz the eyelid actually goes around onto the indicator as well.....

Anyone else got these eyelids fitted? What did you do to get them to stick down properly???

Is it possible to cut them where they shape around for the indicator?

you two wanna get a room?

lol at the shop we use black automotive silicone (the stuff that holds your windows in and seals your tail lights. they're resistant to high heat and non reactive to water and other daily use chemicals that your car might get covered in (waxes, polishes, detergents etc). They usually come in a sausage to put into a dispenser.

lol.

thanks for that. ill look for some of that otherwise ill go with the silicon/liquid nails.

How easy is the liquid nails, head gasket sealant to remove the eyelids off if need be though?

I just got a pair of eyelids arrive for my 34 today, so im looking at the best way to fit it on. I read on a forum some people use double sided 3M tape (red backing) and it flew off when he was on the freeway?

Anyone else wanna share some insight?

Cheers. (Y).

Liquid nails? Easy answer, it wont. That shit is f**cking strong!!

Liquid nails will never come off. even if you want it to. Use Sikaflex (spelling?). You can pick it up at Bunnings in the squeezy tube. Also get a caulking gun to put it on, they're like $3. Make sure on the back it says its black in colour, I got a tube the other day and it was white. Didn't check colour first.

Good luck. Post pics of finished job or

*Edit: Sikaflex goes like a very hard rubber when it sets, unlike liquid nails. That sh*t goes rock solid.

Can Sikaflex be removed easily if I want to take off the eyelids for whatever reason, respray etc.

So will a strong 3M double sided tape not do the job reliably or..? I just don't want the thing flying off into another car and stuff.

Rather do it right.

You can cut it off with a blade. Like I said it goes like a hard rubber. Buy a tube and see for yourself before you put the eyes on. Glue something else together with it and see if its right for your application

[NoFX_Hardcore]

Thanks TezGT-R. I will try that today and yep i'll post up some pics when i'm done.

Cheers guys.

Dude get packmate Badge double sided tape from supercheap. far better then 3m. holds my eyelids on at 160+ so its doing pretty well. thats on a 34 aswell. and you can pull them off with no damage. I wouldnt use anything else!

[NoFX_Hardcore]

Oi grant you got any left?
