    You have the pattern, go down to your local tint shop (im sure they do vinyl) and have them look at it. Youll be able to color match to your car right there....

    LOL I assume the above post is in referance to Revolution Motorsports? That isn't suprising, they have a long history of poor customer service.

    Thomas I haven't looked yet, but does anyone sell a fiberglass eyelid? Those can be easily paint matched and you'll run less risk of crazing the headlight lense due to the vinyl getting hot from the bulb heat.

    oh man...actually I hate people that say that crap "everything will be fine don't worry" Because they are the ones that I worry about!

    There were eyelids at one time on ebay, dont know if there are anymore

    I am a dealer for Fibre Customs and I just did a GB for the painted eyelids for the Magnums on LX Forums. I am also becoming a vendor here so we can do the same for you guys as well.

    I ran a GB on Magnum eyelids over on LX forums. I think I sold 24 sets of them. I do not make them but I am a dealer for Fibre Customs. I would really have to see what kind of interest there is here for these. I can paint a set here or there but the cost is going to be alot higher. It is very expensive to run our booth for small items like this.
