Hey all, what's going on?

Doing this makes me feel sort of dumb, but I was wondering if any of you very kind people on these boards would be willing to cut some vinyl eyelids for my tour... I just attempted to do it myself, but that is going no where.

I will pay you and could even possibly send the vinyl. (unless you can get me a better looking red to match my t-red.. The red I have seems too bright) Like I said, I will pay.. You just give me a price.

If interested, please e-mail me at Chris.Abbott@foldthecorners.com

Also, I'm looking for someone to do a grill for me as well =)


Thanks.

What I did is cover the top part of the headlamp with clear vinyl tape then trace the top line (the 3 lines you can see in the headlamp) and then transpose the tape to the back of the vinyl, then cut it out. It was not hard to do but I reccomend stretching it really well so you do not get bulles on hot days.

Here is a close up pic, hope it helps you a little more. I am actually going to redo mine because I did not stretch them ehough and they bubble a little on me when the car is in the sun. Where did you get your vinyl from? I got mine from Sign-a-rama, they had some there that I thought resembled T-red.
