I'd say save about $20 and go to a local vinyl shop and have them cut some for you... Unless of course, you want the 'real thing.'

I still can't find any in 'Blaze Red', so I'll be heading to the vinyl shop myself.

thats a good idea. i know a graphic artist in town that is very skilled at vinyl. i guess if i cant get them from him then i'll try to find some online

dude .. another idea... go to local hardware shop get plastic adhesion promoter . and clear coat. Go down to anywhere that sells automotive paint and get a can mixed for your car with the color code from dodge and go to a vynel shop and get do decals cut of the shape you want. take her home take the lights out stick that decal on the light .. adhesion promoter the light .. let er dry . then couple of coats of the color match spray bomb. like 5 - 6. After that wet sand it with 800 - 2000 grit. then Clear coat ... 4 -5 coats. Voila custom eyelids colormatched even.. If ya want to get fancy too .. do the turns and your stock tails

It's a nice thought. I'd just have to figure out how to remove my headlight housings.

http://www.ruthlesscars.com/ have good vinyl eyelids. Used to know a guy that worked at ruthless. If you dont know how to put them on then i suggest not buying them. Vinyl cant just be slapped on.

http://www.srt4designs.com/ also has CF and fiberglass eyelids. The glass lids can be painted to match your car color

headlight housing very easy to remove.

Pop your hood. Look at the housing . Remove the headlight and turn Bulbs. then on the top of the housing on the radaitor support bar there will be 2 bolts going through the housing and into that support bar. Remove these and pop out the light

I will be ordering mine from http://www.srt4designs.com/ next week some time.. Had to make sure he could do my color since it didn't come in the SRT-4 color option..

This guy's going to get me in trouble with the old lady. Now that I know how to do this, I'll probably be taking a day and doing this soon. I can hear her now... "You're always on that 2GN thing and then you end up outside working on the car for 4 hours."

Really, though. Thanks for that info! Off to the paint shop.

03+ cars are a bitch to get the headlight out of. much harder than a 00-02. trust me. i have an 00, wife has an 04. i learned to leave her headlights... wait.. let me rephrase.... i learned to leave her CAR'S headlights alone... just my $0.02

I guess it's good when both the people in the relationship are both into cars. I've said that to chris once or twice but jokingly cause then I'll turn around and want to buy new car parts or do other car things.

scneonchic · Post by **scneonchic** » Mon Jul 04, 2005 12:24 pm

i think its a good thing when both ppl are into cars, i know me personally, i could never date a guy that wasnt into cars like me cuz i spend alot of time working on mine, and showing it, etc. but i havent really met that many guys that arent into cars, i mean, what kinda guy are you if you hate cars?? LOL!!!
