DIY eyelids

My buddy made a rear spoiler out of Lexan, and my girlfriend said she wanted "angry eyes" for her 09 beetle. So I thought I would use the same process as my friend did. If this works out well on the Beetle, I'm going to attempt to do it for my Maxima and post pictures. Wish me luck!

I just used black vinyl when I did mine. Way less expensive.

From what I understand, those emblems are difficult to find.

I've seen pics of the wing emblem on the rear trunk lid, and that looked good.

The emblem did take me some time to find a few years ago, still have it in the garage. Thanks for the compliments, but she's now gone, as of 2007:



The vinyl came from a local graphic shop. I started getting vinyl graphics from him in 98, so I only pay about $8/sq ft. Beat the hell out of $35-$40 for some online that you may not even like lol.

Thanks. At the wreck, I was standing outside of my car and just started crying. Someone asked what was wrong. I looked at them like they were crazy, pointed at the car, and said, "What the f#%k do you think is wrong?". It was pretty epic.

Some just don't understand. :: pats your shoulder gently:: But we do.... We do indeed feel your pain.
