As a very close mate said to me...
"Tip for young players, buy some head-light protectors and cut them to the design you create. Sand down the plastic to prepare, prime, paint then clear-coat." If you get asked to remove them from the local law enforcement sub-committee, simply pop the bonnet, (no need to open the bonnet) and pull them out. On the plus side, you get to create the design that YOU want. |

Hey Monkey,
As far as I can remember from mine before they got smashed in a 4 car pile up last Tuesday, the tops clip in very, very nicely with the legitimate Mazda protectors and hold in extremely well. Couldn't tell you about any 3rd party products at all sorry Note: the ones shown at Jetspeed are to fit models July 1994 to September 1998 according to the website. |

But that wont really work for a BA, as they just clip top and bottom, and if you're cutting off the bottom half of the headlight protector, it wont stick without using some doublesided tape. In which case you might as well just make some from fibreglass and stick them on.

put into it. if you mark it out, measure it, re mark it, cut it, smooth it back, prime it with the correct primer, paint it and clear coat it the way it should be, you'd prolly get more comments on the eye lids that are unique and custom than with stock standard 3rd party eye lids. I watched a my mentor do his TS Magna ones, his eyelids were top and bottom eyelids, never seen anything like it, and looked a million dollars (ok, so maybe looked tens of dollars, but anyway) due to the fact that their were unique and time was taken to make them correctly, the first time. What you could do is put them on, make your unique design, then cut them down, with the off cuts, practice the prep and paint on them so you know what to expect. just remembered something, my mate also scuffed, primed and painted the inside of the eyelid with heat resistant/reflective paint too. Helped protect them just that little bit more from any heat. |
