Count me in as well :P

I think you may have just missed out. apg39 did as well though, and I'm sure there may be others out there wanting some. So if this turns out well, a second group buy may be in order.

No more will be added, Final numbers are set.

My Eyelids have arrived 5 working days after I placed the order and paid via PayPal.

The service from this company has been fantastic and I will definitely have no hesitation dealing with them again.

So, they arrived as a grubby sort of native ABS plastic white. They fit perfectly, so all I have to do is paint them.

Here's where I want some advice.

My car as you can see is Gold. I think black against the gold looks really cool and I first intended to have the eyelids black

and I still think that's what I'll do, after all I can always go back and have them re-sprayed gold can't I?

I am only concerned it might look a bit like a girl with too much black eye lid make-up; no disrespect intended to any Aurion Girls :whistling:

What do you guys think?

and, would you say the black is satin or matte - I think satin...

Would a VHT type spray paint look right or should I get them sprayed professionally to an exact match to the black on the car already?

Whew! decisions decisions :blink:

Yeah I have dealt with them over 5 times and 5 day seems to be standard delivery time but don't expect the tracking number to be traced every time i have tried to trace it its come up with no tracking number in system. so don't panic its still on its way I guess there data entry people might be bit slow entering data into there hi tech postal system. heheheh

yeah not sure about matt black will look bit odd personally colour coded to gold will look awesome that my opoin any way everyones taste is diffrent.

Cheers

Thanks for the comments. I know any question regarding looks or colour or style is one that has as many answers as there are people. We all have our own ideas.

I have dropped the eyelids off at my local panel shop and they mixed up a pot of black to match the Aurion and will spray them for me to pick up hopefully tomorrow.

I agree with all of you about the black but a little voice in the back of my head is still saying "go black" so I have. After all I can still go back and get them painted gold.

As soon as i get them I will take some photo's.

@ Freddo, not sure where the CF colour came from. I always new from my first contact with R Style that they were "unpainted" By this I thought they would be black plastic but in fact what arrived is white.

All good because I would always have painted them.

BTW the black isn't just black it was a mix of black, white and a touch of yellow - go figure??

To have them both sprayed is going to be $30 + GST total - good price I think. I am sure gold would be a lot more as they would have to get in the smallest tin of Toyota gold paint and my guess that would be 2litre or at best 1litre maybe..

Here's what they look like sprayed black to match the trim.

They aren't stuck down yet cos' I want to give the car a good wash first - needs it!

Anyway, I think the black looks good so I will be sticking these on.

I agree with Jaems,

it would look so much hotter if it was colour coded to match, but your entitled to your own opinion, after all it is your car :P

14 sets on order, awaiting confirmed payments :P

hmmm woulda looked better if it was a one piece

are they 2 piece? :blink:

I think because of the way it's shaped and due to the shadow on it, it appears as a two piece. Looking at the bottom part of where the dip in it is, it seems like it is a one piece. Maybe it's because of the colour it was painted.

They are one piece but if you look at your lights there is a sharp ridge in the transformation from the front to the side that's what you can see with a bit of reflective light on it.

I have been out and about today and had lots of comments - all positive. I'm very happy with the black. It doesn't show in the picture so much but the whole effect of the eyelid is very subtle.

Like everything on our cars WE see all the detail but most people could see something different to the norm but couldn't figure out what straight away.

Personally, at the moment, I think colour coded would look good but would basically disappear and not really do anything. I like the contrast and the fact it adds more black - which for me is good!

I am changing my rims to these next week (19x8 rims 245x40 tyres) - see photo below and I think it's all starting to come together...

i think it looks a lot tougher and i like the way i goes with other black front pieces (front on view looks awsome) nice job.

okay, so i now retract my previous comment and say "black looks hot on it, dont colour code it!"... hahaha

Thanks

Everyone is entitled to their own thoughts which makes for much more interesting cars - even though we tend to follow along with each new development or idea as it comes along (me included)

@ 1stKill thanks I think "tough" also :D

      Fuse boxes info

      I have a Toyota tarago 2002 acr30. I'm trying to find out where I can get the contents list of all the items in the fuse boxes. I think it has 4. I only have one cover in the engine bay fuse box. The other three have no information anywhere. Need to know what the items ( fuses, relays ) are for ?? If anyone can help would be a nights sleep for me..

      Rav4 Nightmare After Dodgy Mechanic

      Hey everyone, hope you're doing well! Unlike me and my Toyota, which is currently in a bit of a mess, haha. I'm reaching out for some help, feeling pretty desperate, to be honest. My 2013 Rav4 2AD-FTV Turbo Diesel is on the verge of being a total loss thanks to a dodgy mechanic who really messed things up. My car's was pristine, but then it blew the head gasket. I acted quickly, called up a mechanic recommended by a friend, and he towed my car away promising to assess the damage. He later reported that the engine was still in great shape but needed the head gasket reshaped to fix the issue. Weeks turned into months, and despite numerous promises and missed deadlines, my car remained in the shop. The mechanic stopped answering my calls or messages, and when I finally tracked down my car, it was sitting outside another workshop, unable to start. Cut to now, after seeking help from a reputable diesel specialist, they've replaced seals, checked compression, swapped injectors, and pretty much everything possible. But my car still struggles to idle, and they suspect the previous mechanic may have messed up something electronic or electrical. I'm at my wit's end. No auto electrician seems willing to touch it, fearing it's a money pit with no guarantee of success. It's incredibly frustrating, especially considering I may lose the car. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

      Door seals - causing internal leak

      Hi experts need some help. I have a 2004 Sahara 100series. With all this rain we are having my car has started leaking. It was my father in laws car. It’s leaking water down the pillar trim where the handle is inside front seats onto the dash, down the side of airbag and glovebox and dripping from corner foot area where dash ends and onto the floor. I can see the seal on the roof above the door has a gap in it. Could this be it? 1Q. Who would I get to look at this? 2Q. Anyone had this issue before? 3Q. Where do I begin. Thanks in advance, Sarah IMG_3589.mov

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Kanga, You wouldn't believe it, I found a pump at a Victorian wrecker. He posted it to me but to the wrong address. It was 10 days before I found this out. I went to the wrong address and they said the didn't see it. Austpost is adamant it was delivered. The wrecker fortunately has another one. So, I haven't taken the old one out yet.

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Just tested before - I think its dead. No noise - nothing. I also note that the power supply I have actually delivers a really high-pitched noise when it is on. When you connect it to something, that noise goes away. In this case, when I connect to the terminals, the noise remains. I'm going to have to get inside to look further. Unfortunately, I simply don't have the room to do a job like that. Geoff, did you have any luck getting yours out through the inspection hole mate? I'd seen a few Lexus owners actually cut the inspection hole to get this part out without dropping the tank. Each to their own, but I'm looking to avoid anything that invasive....

      Typical Price for a Replacement Key - 2000 Toyota Torago

      Just let me preface this by saying I know very little about cars in general, so apologies if I get some basic info wrong here. Ive lost the key to my 2000 Toyota Torago. I rang up a local locksmith to get a quote on a replacement key, and apparently it'll cost $1200 for two keys?? The old key didn't even have any electronics in it, it was just a basic key. Not button unlock or anything. I've gotten an electronic car key cut before and it only came to $400! This price for a key without a chip seems extortionate to me. Can someone please let me know if this price is normal, and if so why the hell its so expensive? Thanks in advance for the help! Here's all the information I think is relevant to the car (let me know if more is needed): TOYOTA TARAGO ACR30 II 16V 2.4L 2AZ-FE DOHC 16v Petrol 4cyl 115kW MPV FWD [02/00-02/06] Compliance plate / RAV entry date: 04/2000

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      On my 2002 Prado, the fuel transfer pump has a fuel filter which can block, causing increasingly less fuel transfer between the tanks. It may be the same for the Cruiser too. I have not yet had an issue with mine even at 250000km, but that is low mileage for a 2002 Prado. I hope that you have a filter that can be easily replaced. It could save you a pump replacement.

      2002 Hilux Engine Replacement

      Unless you can identify which engine your Hilux has now, you may be better off finding a good 5LE engine and return it to stock. Nice to have a Turbo diesel though. Have you tried taking a photo of the engine and posting it so others can advise what engine you have. It may be better to have your engine overhauled. If you can locate the engine number (should be on the registration papers if the engine swap was done legit), you might be able to ID the engine that way too. Do you know why the engine seized? It may be possible to overhaul your engine cheaper than replacing it.
