Whirling Dervish Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 I have eyelids on my '98 OBS and I love the way they look. I know that Ings has a set, but I don't know if I can afford to plunk down $300 on a set. I see a bunch of them when I search through the threads, but no one seems to name them. I'm also skeptical of really cheap ones b/c I'm not sure how they'll fit over the rounded-out portion of the lens. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Whirling Dervish Posted September 7, 2005 Author Share Posted September 7, 2005 Here's the OBS. And I won't be doing this many mods to the LGT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know RED BEAST has them on his outback... not sure which ones he has or where he got them from though - you could shoot him a PM and ask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whirling Dervish Posted September 7, 2005 Author Share Posted September 7, 2005 Thanks Rallispec. I just checked AVO...$209 w/shipping, addl. $80 for the painting (pita false advertising!). Heard any feedback on how well they fit? I'll send Red Beast a PM in the morning if I can remember Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starlabs Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 AVO has a new set of eyelids available. They're cheaper at $159 (and look better IMO). However they're unpainted - and there seems to be no painting option. http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18419 -=- Livin life at 140 BPM -=- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apexjapan Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Sorry guys - while we could probably arrange for painting over here in Japan, as we note on the page, painted items have a tendency to get scratched, no matter how carefully we pack them. I think that's because customs gorillas tend to check them for drooogs or such. :/ And to be honest, with the prices they charge for painting over here, it's likely cheaper (and possibly better quality!) to get them painted locally. Oh, and apologies for the K2gear issue - when we first got into them, we were told that the price was painted, and then they told us later that that was the unpainted price.

Whirling Dervish Posted September 7, 2005 Author Share Posted September 7, 2005 Good point about customs. You mean the eyelids don't come with drugs included? Heck, $80 is cheap compared to around here. I paid $100 to get the eyelids for my OBS painted. Stupid black obsidian. They both look good, though. The AVO ones (first) are a little more aggressive; but I like that the K2Gear's (second) seem to follow the bodylines a little better. Anyone else's opinions? http://www.avoturboworld.com/avoshop/images/300_bpbl_eyeline_001.jpg http://www.avoturboworld.com/avoshop/images/150_k2g_eyelid.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rallispec Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 i like the k2 style better personally... But $300 painted is just more than i'd spend on eyelids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abakja1 Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Aside from Scans007 full car pics with his INGS eyelds, does anyone have pics of the whole car with AVO eyelids (K2 and other brand) so I can get a better idea what the different brand eyelids would look like,..I only see the headlight pics of them and its hard to get an idea of what they'd look like,.. Also, who sells them other than coming from Japan as I wouldnt want to spend more than $150 with shipping unpainted going to Hawaii,... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JNRacing Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Why not use Vinyl? Now I have been out of the sense for a while but I am sorry I am not paiding that much for two little pieces of plastic. If I can find vinyl in the color I need I will just use that and save myself a LOT of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abakja1 Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 That is what I have on my lenses now,..tried vinyl tape but too wide,..so I got electrical (yup ghetto) tape on it and it matches well on my OB LGT,....got the look of the eyelids, but I guess cause eyelids are plastic that "sits" on top of the headlights,..it looks better and more "complete",.. But I put off buying it till it gets cheaper or EBAY sells em as the WRX ones are "really" cheap,... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNRacing Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Sounds good to me. I just got the car yesturday so I am not sure what I am going to do with it. My girlfriend doesn't like the idea of them but I kind-of like the look of the eyelids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyg113 Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 i custom made my eyelids w/ vinyl! they look great... I will post some pics and you guys will be impressed. I tryed to base the style off the AVO eyelids and I think I did a better job. If anyone wants a templet to trace onto matching vinyl then i'll be glad to hook them up. Stop hating on the vinyl.. I just saved a bunch of money.... (on my car insurence by switching to gyco) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
