so what's so fascinating about em

?

heres a better pic

they obviously need to be painted before they are fitted. a bit of sanding etc would need to be done as well like any other body kit part

edit- sorry that ended up huge as. think this could be a group buy?
5+ 100$ a pair
10+ 80$ a pair

LOL... I can see the archives now...

FTO Australia - year 2005

*Hold hands up in the air*

"The year of the group buy"

Well - if you get the numbers & your source is reputable, we can do it.

on the website it says they are $99.95
http://www.carmate.com/product_details. ... &p_id=4017

i rekon a group buy, we can get them down to 50 - 60$
theyr nothing just a bit of cut unpainted fiberglass or plastic. they should accept that. if not
i say we make your own. get some carboard,safety scissors and some clag glue,.

hmmmm the last time i saw the site it said $139.95. that aint much of a group buy discount is it then. let me email the f#$%'s again. does anyone really wants these or am i gonna be emailing back and forth for nothin?

dj_ules · Post by **dj_ules** » Tue Nov 15, 2005 9:14 pm

i wouldnt mind some . but i definetly wouldnt be paying the amount they are asking. it probably costs them like 10$ to make they are just thin moulded pieces of fiberglass or plastic watever material its made of.. max id pay is probably 60$ , 30$ each. thats a preety fair price

they are gettin a bit greedy.

Sorry Shue

You ain't getting me in on this one!

This is just an idea, but if you've got a few keen people, and it's easy to make, wouldn't it make more sense to buy 1 pair of these and then get somebody who's skilled and also part of the club to spend some time (and get a little $$) to make up a few more eyelids?

The initial cost would be $100, but if it costs $10 to make it and you had even 5 people interested, it would end up costing $30-$40. If you had 10 people that would be $20-$30, 20 people would be $15-$20, etc. etc. and that would be per pair!

just have to get somebody that's willing to help with the cause

i've emailed carmate but yea im not sure if ppl really want these.

i think ill have a little experiment n see what i can come up with, thinking i might try it with some sheet metal as well as plastic

Funky styling is selling eyelids for GBP25 (AUD60). Isnt this cheaper than what carmate is offering?
