Anyone done this themselves?

Just looking for some tips on getting the moulding right etc

Doesn't seem like a hard job, and I'm rather familiar with fibreglass, but knowing me I'll stuff something vitally important

and just like that, it became a group buy haha...

So is one st being made and then MOULDS now? seeing as so many peoplewant tem, is it worth getting them made by a body kit shop and paying that lil extra?

How familiar are you with FG, oddy? what do you think? Otherwise the pressures on you to make like 10 set haha

Ahah sudden group buy!

When I say I'm familiar with FG, it means I've used it before (made a parcel shelf, rolled guards on an ae86, basic frontage on sub box)

I was going to wait til I could buy some paint but pressure's on now, if only I could get days off from work

I might make a few sets at the outset (I dont have access to an S2 yet) and bog/prime them smooth and send em out for you to paint yourselves (if they come out good).

Having said all of this they might turn out dodgy as, but I'll likely post a step-by-step as I go so I can narrow down how it went.

Time frame at this stage will be a couple of weeks - I work 80 hours a week so I gotta wait for a day off

Slow your roll - I'll keep you updated!

give me some time and i might have a go, my old man used to do fibreglass boats for a living so he knows his way around fibreglass and making moulds. Ive made a cold air duct for the stock bumper before and than turned out great, im sure the eyelids wouldnt be that difficult, ill post more when i have a better look at the car and some spare time.

meanwhile if anyone else wants to have a crack at making some eyelids too (someone with an S2?)

feel free.

It can't be THAT hard!

How much do eyelids retail for anyway?

From slidewize the one I linked before shipped to our doorsteps is 175 dollars via EMS, 160 via container. Then you need to put money aside to get them painted. It all adds up :D

not sure i haven't checked as i dont have a S1...

here is a link - click the seller's name and check for S1 maybe :) as he sells for all kinds of cars.

They are perfect!!! I want them - but the only prob is - that page is all Japanese and I have no clue on how to purchase or see how much shipping will be....

have you got a English translated link by any chance...??

you right click - and it should say 'translate this page to english' OR go to google, language tools, select japanese to english and paste the link.

OR alternatively i can source them for you and a price delivered
