hey guys,

I should have my set sanded this w/e. haven't had much time this last week with changing jobs n all, and i've been crook which doesn't help matters any.

Let me know which type you guys would prefer...if you want ones that just stick on, i can put them together pretty quickly, and it will only use half as much fibreglass, so i can sell them cheaper ;) If anyone wants the stick on type, i should be able to put a set together this weekend (unless I keel over from being sick ;) ).

Once i have my bolt on set trimmed to fit, i'll see how they go with the bonnet...but i can't see there being any issues. They will bolt on at the back, and I'll probably be sticking them at the front so thieving little s**ts can't get their fingers up underneath to rip them off.

**PM** me with what you guys are expecting to pay, and i'll try and work my price around that :) I'll also work out how much i'll need to charge to cover my costs ;)

I trial fitted the eyelids to the car last night after trimming them, I need to shave a little off the face of the pass side one to even things up.

They fit and the bonnet closes normally. The little black rubber things on the bonnet were originally hitting the eyelids but I trimmed it (edit: by "it" i mean the eyelids, not the black things) back and now fits with no issues :P

Also tried to "steal" them with the bonnet closed and they weren't going anywhere :D

All that's left to do is:

*sand the pass side eyelid

*make brackets to fit

*paint

Once i have this set completely finished I'll put a post in the F/S section :D

To give me an idea of demand, please PM me or post here and let me know what you guys want:

*stick-on (will just cover the top & face of the headlight), or

*bolt in (covers face and entire top of headlight)

:P

Man, i'm interested too if you're going to start making more lol. Been after eyelids since i bought my 32, makes it look so much "Tuffer"!

A bit off the topic, but how do you's get that little pic of your cars in ur info thing? I've taken pics of my car with my fone, but cant work out how to put it up there!?

Let me know how you go with the eyelids i'm VERY keen.

Michael is thinking of gettin' a GTR so it isn't goint be cheap ;)

:rofl:

will trade for GTR Parts ;) hahaha if everyone donates something (a caliper, a radiator, an engine, etc ) I should be able to build a GTR by 2010 :wizard:

but seriously, I'm going to make 2 or 3 types.

1- Stick-on ones for maybe 50-60ish (to be confirmed) - these will just cover the face, an dif someone was so inclined may be able to be ripped off :(

2 - Stick on that are a bit bigger and will be hard to steal because of the way it is moulded around the headlight,

3 - And the 3rd type which will bolt at the back, and can be stuck at the front (so they don't rattle around and are a bit more secure :) This is the type i have made and basically ready to be painted.

As per one of my previous posts, i tried to "steal" the 3rd type from my car with the bonnet closed and it was impossible. Also I couldn't get enough leverage to break or snap them off because they are moulded so closely to the headlight :D

If no-one wants the cheapies then please let me know and i'll focus my efforts on what you all want :) Even better if you could email me which type you'd prefer @ Midnite_Garage at hotmail dot com it will be easier for me to keep track of what people want. I'll let you know set prices for type 2 and 3 sometime next week when i have pics.

:cheers:

Michael

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
    • FYI: Racebox RE7R Custom Tunes Released!   https://goracebox.com/.../2017-infiniti-q50-q60-re7r-tcm...   FOR GEN 2 (21+) VEHICLES, PLEASE SEE NOTE AT BOTTOM See more   But whomever tuned your car is the tuner you should go back to, AMS, Sonictune or BT Tune....
