My MX-3 eyelids lasted only 1 day! =(

Post by Mazdaspeed96743 »

Sup guys I have recieved eyelids for my car, I cleaned them with alcohol, I painted them, sticked it on the headlamps with the 3M double sided tape it came with and when I drove to school this morning it flew off the car 1 by 1 I only was driving 55mph too :cry: I wanted to get them on the road but I would be late to school if I did that and when I came back from school I could not find them :( I am going to beg Oscar for another pair I hope he gives me another one.

Hey Gregory sorry for the late reply I thought this thread died already but not quite.

Um I decided not to get another set. I like the stock MX3 headlight look and those eye lids were a little too much. I did pass one of my eyelid on the highway though one was chopped in half on a turning lane where the yellow stripes are on the road lol.
