This Week Project - eyelids (cheap cheap eyelids)

Nate · 23-02-2004, 03:29 PM

This weeks project on the astina is eyelids. as you can see from the photos it looks rather good

So how did i do it for $0???

Using electrical tape that dad had hidden in the depths of the garage. I have no idea how long it will last until it fades or melts but only time will tell

black bars on the top of the parkers. normally the lights run into the body work and it looks bad. (some beofre shots probably woud have helped)

Sorry dude, was going blind for a minute, I see what you've done. Looks quite good, well done.

Hmm, even that little bit makes it look so much better. Now you have to find out how to make it a bit more permanent.

Pick up a roll of pin stripe vinyl and some prepsol, test the prepsol (it's a cleaning agent) on a small area of the plastic lenz.
You can try different spacings and effects on the front and rear lamps.

Keep replacing the tape????

Nah i think i might go to a place that makes stickers for cars and have him print off some strips of black that i can cut to the right length and stick on
