r33 eyelids, what do you think of these??

[hotsky]

this is my r33 with the eye lids that came with it when i bought it

Hmmm... how much does a laser operator get? I would have thought it was a decent sum of money. I guess if you can do it yourself, why pay for it ey?

Nice work.

Pasak, i think youve done a very good job! dont do the one that RedlineGTR is talking about cause they look shit. i think the only thing you should change from your original design is to make the bottom edge more angled towards the grill. like what Hotsky posted, but not as much angle as that. only a little more than the original.

They dont look too bad, but the problem with alot of eyelids is that they look good if you look straight at the car but as soon as you look at it from a angle they look weird and dont go with the car. This is my opinion not bagging anyones ideas or eyelids they have on thier car.

Everyone had thier own opinon, Pasak wanted some photos and i have him some to muck around with never had a knife to his head to say these are the best eyelids and dont make any other ones. My suggestion for these is that the fact that they use nearly 100% of the headlight in thier design as compaired to something that only covers 70%, if you know what i'm getting at. Anyways My 2 Cents.

wil there be a heating issue with them made in steel?? ie with teh lights on?? then again there is a layer of paint over it so that could be enough insulation??

good effort though.....always nice to have a lazer cutting machine on hand:D:D

[PashaK]

i spent all day redesigning the eyelids, dont worry, still have the original ones on file, but i copied the look redlinegtr showed me.

i just got home, gonna spray them now, and hopefully they dry before dark so i can post a pic of them

i'll make a whole bunch of different designs, better than working, this way im getting paid to do shit to my skyline.

by the way, the money sux. and i cant wait to get out of there and into IT, but at least ive made the most of it.

ive been cutting stuff for my car for years, stereo brackets, fog light brackets, whatever, whenever i want. thats about the only good thing about it

[PashaK]

ok here it is, i rushed alot and only did the left one as i accidently sprayed the wrong side of the right eyelid, rushing.

feedback please

as you can notice, its already dark outside but i wanted to see what you guys thought

[PashaK]

i just finished the other one, here are the pics

looks alright i reckon.

i know it looks hard to see

[P1E]

I have Nismo eyelids and a Nismo bonnet lip for sale right now if anybody is keen.

[The front bar and grille are also for sale.]

[PashaK]

how much for each??

yes some asshole decided he wanted one of em off my car but he only managed to break half of 1 off, so i had to remove it anyway. I just havent got around to getting a new one yet.

Mine are made from fiberglass and were were made in melbourme. I got em around 2 years ago and i think remember paying around $140 or so for the pair painted to match the car. No spray can paint proper paint by panel beater.

PashaK

You should epoxy them on or otherwise they are 2 easy to pull off

i think that the problem with the r33 headlights is that they look a bit "sleepy" eyed. compared to say the r34 which is more angular and looks more aggresive. perfect example is how tough the new honda odessey looks

thats why i said that you shouldnt follow the curve of the headlights. would be better to get rid of the curve and make them look more angular. but not too much.

[nmcmahon83]

or just buy series 2 front end gear they ook more aggressive cos they have sharper angles.

[wilch]

Hey Pashak, where'd you get your clear indicator lights for your front bar from?

[PashaK]

theyre actually my spot lights, i rewired my parkers to be my indicators, they change 7 colors, from autobarn.

matrix lights.

i have made the new ones more angular and they look awesome, just waiting for the paint to dry, then i'll post pics
