Custom Eyelids

Welp, just finished up putting on my custom vinyl eyelids. I went to a vinyl shop and picked up a couple feet of some matte black vinyl (like EvilCreations suggested) and took about 2 hours to make stencils, cut them out, and put 'em on. I originally just wanted to save some money by making them on my own and I decided to throw in a twist and make some custom ones that nobody else has. So, here are some pictures, let me know what you guys think.

So? Whatcha' think?

I painted mine on a while back. I like em nice and shiny.

Those look good, but a little too subtle for me. I was originally thinking about painting mine on to match the color of the car - I have a reason why they are matte black finish, but that will be revealed at a later date.

Lookin great man......did you have to do much shrinking to make the vinyl fit right? or are they small/short enough that you didn't need to?

I might think about taking some orders.

Actually, I didn't do any shrinking. It was kinda' a bitch, but we (the fiance and I) just worked out the bubbles and creases as best we could and had to slit them in a couple spots to get the sides to lay down. We had the highbeams on a bit to warm up the vinyl to make it a little more workable... It was only 39 degrees outside when we did it. I'm pretty damn happy how they turned out.

Thanks guys! I was tempted to cut out a couple more pair and see if anyone wanted them. Keeping them limited to keep them a bit unique.
