Vinyl Eyelid question

i normally don't do appearance mods, this is probably the only thing i will ever do. but i got some vinyl eyelids, and it seems like when i'm going to put them on they're going to crease. is there some kind of trick to get them on? i know a few people have done it.

Where did you get yours from? Ive been thinkin about these, but i want colormatched, and havnt found any places with a lazer blue vinyl so ive been leaning towards paint.

Why not just paint the vinyl? You could get a spray can of color matching paint from the stealership for 11 bucks.

yes you can paint some to color match....


but back to the question... use a hair dryer kev. warm em up a little and they will be more pliable. Make surethey are crease free before you go to install them as well. see if you can find that guy that made his car look just like 27thelement's. He is a professional with vinyl and could prob give you some pointers
