Exactly. And unfortunately, we're not going to be able to meet it this time.

More bad news...
- Looks like the paint guy fell through with his promise, and now I'm going to have to pay the full retail price on the paint, which leaves me with 3 options:
  1. Pay $18 for an 1/8th of an ounce worth of Toyota paint (enough for about 2 coats/pair)
  2. Pay $18 for each requested color and use that for color matching at a DuPont store
  3. Ask you guys for your hitch bumper covers (the little circles in the front) in order to color match those. You could send those rushed in an envelope and it should still be pretty inexpensive to do.
- I will go to the dealership 1st thing tomorrow to see if I can resolve the situation with as little money spent as possible. I feel bad that I already promised you guys OEM paint, although I've been assured that the colors will match 100%. Even then, I believe you guys should decide as to what to do next.
More good news!
- The improved version of the eyelids is much better than before. The fabricator made a better mold this time around, and it really makes the eyelids much thinner, which makes them fit flush with the hood, as well as the headlights
- I asked them to reinforce the eyelids at the "backbone" (the inner border of the eyelids). This improves on the original JDMs, which are just pasted on top of the headlights

I will post pictures tomorrow of the new lids. I am confident that you guys will like the results so far.

As far as the original JDM group buy, there's not a lot to talk about to tell you the truth. The VitzListe fellow has not contacted me at all in a loooong time. JapanParts is also AWOL, and the recent events will most likely make things even worse.

If somebody could be able to help us out, I would really appreciate it if you posted here to let us now!

ASHRAF · 07-20-2007, 08:41 AM

I'll take the set unpainted

I have to paint a whole body kit and the body shop will probably paint those for free

good luck with the others tk-421 :D

yrsdrgn · 07-20-2007, 11:57 AM

yea i'm with ASHRAF on this whole painting one. I too have to paint body pieces for my car so I wouldn't mind getting a non-painted one.

Thanks for all your efforts in this!

AlphaFox · 07-20-2007, 01:34 PM

i need mine painted...

paradigm · 07-20-2007, 02:47 PM

i honestly dont mind paying a little bit more to have mine painted. in the end though, if its easier for you to sent unpainted ones, i'm all down for whatever makes the process go smoother for everyone.

*tk-421* · 07-21-2007, 12:45 AM

OK: Here are a couple of pictures of an unpainted eyelid, although they really don't do the eyelids much justice (again, sorry for the crappy quality, but my digital camera ran out of batteries).

Notice the reinforcement on the inside border? That will help out a lot in keeping the lids in place. This is something that I noticed the JDMs don't have at all.

Also, compare these new lids to the original pictures. The width in these is much better, since they will perfectly level to the hood.

The black line is there to define where the cut is going to be. Tomorrow is my last trip to the dealership in order to get the cuts just right, as well as get the paint samples.

Yes, I found another dude in charge of paint, and he is willing to give me some samples in order to match them. This should all be over with tomorrow.

If you guys still prefer to have them unpainted, please PM me to let me know. otherwise, I will continue to follow the list as planned.

yrsdrgn · 07-21-2007, 01:25 AM

is there a price difference for unpainted vs. painted?

Nevermind. found it. hopefully there's a batch of unpainted ones ready to ship and a batch of painted ones ready to ship. just a thought

*tk-421* · 07-21-2007, 02:29 AM

Guys please PM me your paypal e-mail address so that I can send you an invoice. Thanks!
