Here are two good links that provide that information:

Oh and how much would it cost to have these painted?

Edit: Sorry hadn't noticed someone went over price already. Either way, if anyone actually knows what Blazing Blue is known as to the rest of the world, it'll save me some guess work (and possibly some money). heh

USDM Blazing Blue Metallic is 8T0. My local auto body shop had no problems matching my lids and hood dead on.

Only color anyone will have a real problem with is Bayou Blue. It's kind of a PITA to match.

Received my eyelids yesterday, thanks Garm! Just waiting for the paint. Looks like that will arrive sometime next week. I'm not sure how quickly I'll get to paint them. May need to wait for drier weather.

Question, those of you with them painted and installed, did you paint the underside too? Any advantage or disadvantage?

[Treyz]

Just follow the instructions on the can. I don;t know exactly where Roseville is in Cali, but if you are in southern Cali, should be no problem as long as the weather is over 50 degrees and there is low humidity. If not, then I would suggest indoors then.

Thanks Treyz. I'm in northern CA, near Sacramento. Did you paint the underside of the eyelids too? It would almost seem that the rough unfinished surface of the eyelid next to the headlight would hold the doublesided sticky tape better then if it were painted.

There is no need to paint the underside of the eyelids. The 3M tape will be able to stick to both painted or unpainted surfaces just the same, though.

Just make sure to paint the edges in order to make it look like it's painted all over.

The bodyshop did mine since I was having other work done (keymarks taken off). They did paint the underside though.

Astroman, where did you get the "got yaris?" sticker hehe

Finally installed my eyelids, thanks again to Cali Yaris for the eyelids, they are fantastic, it really looks like a part of the car.
