Carbon fiber eyelids - 3rd, 4th, 5th gens.. and maybe 6th
Ok so to keep in my tradition of trying custom things that might fail.... I want to throw this out.
Assuming I got my hands on some carbon fiber materials... and assuming I could get the resin and material that WILL NOT turn yellow...
Who would be up for some carbon fiber eyelids? What would be a reasonable price? (For now I'm thinking between 75-100 shipped??? I'm taking into consideration that most fiberglass eyelids are like $65 + shipping)
I'm thinking 5 for each gen would be sufficient to start off a group deal in the GD forum. Oh, and the donor cars for 3rd, 5th, and 6th gens (if interested) will possibly get a free set of eyelids if there's enough demand.
That being said... post your designs for eyelids. They don't have to be perfect photochops, but preferably a shot of the front of the car looking straight at the camera. Few ideas: Use tape or cardboard cutouts on your headlights and see what you can come up with.

i scrapped the idea as far as producing large quantities... but I'll still get some made for myself, then see how the durability/fit/quality is and document it, and then see if many might be interested. If VIS releases their Carbon Fiber hoods for 4th gens soon, then I'll be picking one up since they're based here in cali (instead of paying $150 for shipping even if AnGe's might be better quality. Hopefully the eyelids would be a nice tough with the hood. Who knows... if all my projects do come out, then expect my car at the L.A. Steamy Hot Rice Import Nights sometime in August.
