custom eye lids

[91hondaaccordlx]

got a bright idea about some custom eye lids, havent found another thread about the way i did it so i figured why not post one.

this took about 30 minutes to do:

items needed:
i used engine enamal from autozone, black. bbq paint may work,
some painters tape
paper
windex, towel

and this is what it came out to be....




was thinking about doing a diy thread? if people want it reply to the thread and ill post it up.

Look for T-Square eyelids on the DIY section.

It'll look good til it starts chipping.

Done it in the past on other vehicles. Within a few months, rock chips just eat it away.

i cleaned the head light real well with windex then shot it with the black engine enamal, tomorrow i will post some pix for a diy thread, i just did my corners the same way. im also gonna get a good coat of clear over them.

i seen the othr diy thread with the gts covers, but this seemed like a good idea, i think it will stay for a while

not paint but vinyl might be cheaper.

WOW GREAT eyelids......Great job....I did mine with black electric tape and it stayed there for a week, after the week i thought it was weird since it showed the tape off plus people started laughing at me on the road.......I told them to gtfo....

Great idea!!! Idk if i like it or not it depends on if you post a picture of the whole car but yea thats cool!

ill get some good pics up tomorrow of everything, and ill do a diy thread with a link here.

on my front end it looks good to me cuz its all black, it flows well, i even did my corners the same.

as for the paint vs. vynal, the paint at auto zone was like 5.49 a can here in oregon. its not much and i got it pretty thick with no drips. just did light coats one a a time and used a blow dryer to cure it up faster.

im glad people like it, didnt think people would, but its a good idea for a cheap price.

Did you paint your corners the same color? So they're blacked out? Im trying to find the right paint to paint my corner amber and red to red out the tails but having problem trying to find them.

Post pictures of the corners too if you can. That'll be cool

[91hondaaccordlx]

i did my corners too the same way i did the head lights, i followed the same line as the headlights so it flows well and looks good, to me atleast, tomorrow im gonn take some pics for you guys.

i used black engine enamal from autozone, 500* paint. couple light coats till it was dark enough no light came thru.

will post pics tomorrow, of the whole front and close ups of the details
