3D Eyelids Help

[Rob_RA]

Hey All

I'm after 3D eyelids painted or maybe in CF and am a little confused at the moment.

So far I have found them for as cheap as $23USD and up to $160USD.

Just want to make sure I get a quality product with no issues.

Has anyone brought these recently amd if so how much, where from etc...

Any help would be appreciated

like evrything, speak to Ofey, with his many contacts im sure he can find what your after for the best price

@ bd-850 - Will do thanks

@ Blakey - Thanks for the links, so you think its worth paying the extra as both the links you provided seem to be at the upper end of the scale?? Am happy to pay if its worth it, but back to my original post, can buy these significantly cheaper. Am happy to pay the extra to ensure a quality product. have you brought from this guy before?

[Blakey]

if they are as cheap as you say, buy the cheap ones, if they dont fit properly throw them?

Or sell them for as much as the expensive ones

The main difference between the cheaper ones and the more expensive ones are the materials that are used. The mid-range to expensive ones are much more 'dense' and have more of a solid structure to them compared to the cheaper styled ones. Plus with the more expensive ones they fit the car a little bit better.

Ofey showed us the difference between the cheap and expensive ones awhile back and it was pretty major...Spend that little bit extra for the quality and you wont be disapointed.

Thanks Tadz - Thats the info I was after, aa I said i'm happy to pay, just could not understand why there was such a huge difference in price

[tadz0rz]

Yeah that was what i had thought aswell. But comparing the cheaper ones to the more expensive ones, they are about 30 - 40% heavier...So its quite an increase in structure.

I bought expensive ones from Rick Chong. They look good quality, and fit perfect I've seen cheaper ones and saw people having problems with them not fitting quite right, and looking semi asymmetrical. If you've got the cash, I'd spend it.

[Rob_RA]

Thanks draevon, based on what's been said I'm pretty sure I will

[bd-850]

The ones I bought were cheap ones and needed a fair bit of dremal work to make them fit

I have Rick Chongs ones on my car.
Perfect fit. Only took 10minutes to install both of them.
I used a bit of sikaflex for added security. Not a big fan of relying on double sided tape alone.

The ones I provide to all of you are from the same factory as Rick Chong's. I think he charges US$160 for them. The ones I get are A$160 color matched.
