how did urs come out alpha?

redyaris · 08-13-2007, 04:50 PM

Who has not received theirs yet? Keep us posted.

yrsdrgn · 08-13-2007, 05:11 PM

I haven't received mine yet

tiksman · 08-13-2007, 08:26 PM

I got mine and they have the bubble wrap syndrome. I think I can wet sand and polish it off.

AlphaFox · 08-14-2007, 07:31 AM

I got mine yesterday, and they too had the bubble wrap issue. I ended up using some miguires (sp?) swirl and scratch remover for over an hour and got about 85% of it off. you can still see it, but only if you look at it just right in the light.

when I first opened the bag it smelled like wet paint... the weird thing is only ONE if my lids had the issue! the other was fine.

my main concern is that the left headlight (when sitting inside the car) does not sit flush with the hood. the right lid is perfect (except for some nicks in the fiberglas....) and sits flush. anyone notice that too? the left one also doesnt look quite the same as the left.

overall they are nice and I appreciate your time and effort developing them!

redyaris · 08-14-2007, 10:46 AM

I believe everyone should receive their eyelids by tomorrow, Aug. 15. Let me know if you don't.

Tk, I also volunteer my services for group buy 2 if needed. Thanks!

Lets see some pics people!!!

Good to know you could get it fixed, Alpha! PM me if the remaining marks get annoying and I'll try to work something out.

OK, now this I'm really concerned about. Is the eyelid correctly aligned and pasted on top of the headlight? Does the left eyelid have the marks as well?

Yes, it is aligned and pasted on there the same as the other one... its like the lip that holds the tape on is about 1/4 inch too long and sticks up.

This pic shows the left headlight, the lid is sticking up:

This pic shows the right headlight, same angle. notice how flush it is:

This is the left headlight again, showing how much it sticks up from the hood:

This is the right headlight, same angle. you can barely see it, its very flush:

Please advise Tk!!

AlphaFox · 08-14-2007, 08:34 PM

ANYONE else have this issue, or am I the only one??

tca4 · 08-14-2007, 10:30 PM

I do too, and probably everyone elses' too since they uses the same mould. At least your color looks right, im still finding the right 'white' color for it so i can repaint...

*tk-421* · 08-14-2007, 11:09 PM

I guess that when it rains, it pours!

Those people who will be repainting please PM me so that I can send you the $20 difference.

Those folks suffering from "raised lip" syndrome can cut through the offending extra height by using a dremel. All one would need to do is basically cut the base of the lip (where the tape resides) and change the tape's position to the side. That should work out just as well, and maybe even look better than the right one, since one can adjust how high to cut the eyelid, and hence improve flushness significantly.

Was that clear? I could take some pics if it helps you guys out more.

*tk-421* · 08-14-2007, 11:13 PM

Oh, BTW, I finally heard back from the guy that painted the eyelids. He was pretty sure that it won't help to place the eyelids in the oven, since the paint is now completely dry. So guys, please strike that as an option!

tca4 · 08-15-2007, 12:58 AM

Yea would be great if you provide some pics for us, so more understandable

btw i think i will need to repaint mine, because the color and the bubble wrap issue

AlphaFox · 08-15-2007, 08:12 AM

Can you please ship us all a dremel to fix the issue? heh, kidding.
Why didnt anyone else notice this if they all look like that? its weird too because the right lid looks perfect...

SQUEEKK!! I guess this is what it means to be a gineua pig! hehe

tiksman · 08-15-2007, 11:42 PM

I will be repainting but I dont care cause Red Yaris Gave me the paint from his spoiler .
