I like the variety of options but for my Fit I would like to get the TFB eyelid. My problem is I am trying to get them in Tidewater Blue to match my 2008 Fit and that is not a color option right now. TFB is making an offer so people like myself and others that like the TFB style can get the colors they want. If you have any of the colors they are looking for on your Fit please help out fellow Fit Freaks that want to get the eyelids in our colors. I encourage everyone to pursue what they like but help the owners who want to pursue their options. Thanks for listening.

finally got around to ordering a set of F2s. I like both so much, it was tough to decide. I put both pics side by side and it was too hard to pick, so I had a friend look and he likes F2 better lol. I'll post pics in about 2 weeks or so, xmas and new years coming up, no time to mess with car ;P

Depending on what you're going for.. I looked at getting some brows, but over here in the UK getting hold of them is near impossible (unless you want to pay a small fortune on postage!)

I went down to my local graphics store and bought some matt black vinyl, cost me around £2.50, went home, made a stencil with some tape and cut my own brows. They've been on for around 2-3 months now, still look great.

Still, even if they do wear out eventually.. the cost was so low i'm not bothered

LOL i still got mine layin' around the house, i tried to paint them myself but i failed MISERABLY so i took them to a shop and they quoted me $130!! because they said they were messed up. anyway i ended up wet sanding them myself but still need to paint. anyone knows how much they would charge? i think 130 is just way too much.

(disclaimer * im not responsible if u mess up your paint job its up to you to do it properly)

hey if ur going to paint them make sure ur painting them with very light coats and from about 1 ft distance, if u spray too close u might get globs of paint, and if u put heavy coats u get the risk of getting runs in the paint, also have a steady hand go only one way,

the first step is to spray primer on, make sure ur spraying from a 1 foot distance, and apply light coats, after the first coat, its okay if it looks like tiny spray marks, wait for 15 minutes, and spray a light coat again

second step is wait for another 15 minutes and see if you have any imperfections, now is a good time to wet sand (1000 grit paper or the least rigid sand paper ur autozone has) the imperfections, be very gentle, it'll crack easily if ur abusive with the sand paper, if u dont have any small imperfections skip to step 3

step 3 is apply the basecoat color of ur vehicle, again spray a light coat going in one direction, it'll look like mist on the eyelid dont worry about it, wait for another 15 minutes to dry the paint, and apply another coat of basecoat paint, but this time going the reverse direction that you had painted for the first coat, wait another 15 minutes and let it dry

step 4 apply the clear coat paint as i had described in step 3, but apply about 3-4 coats waiting for 15 minutes to dry for each coat

step 5 apply rubbing compound, to get ur shine on, use a fine wash cloth that is soft and not rough or rigid material, or you will mess up ur paint job

if u get it professionaly done it'll look much better but im not forking over $100, im pretty satisfied with mine even tho its slightly less shiny, hopefully some more rubbing compound might make it look exactly the same
