wassup everyone... i finally got my eyelids today... i picked em up from Pepboys for $30... woohoo!! anyways... i was wondering... what could i use to cut it?? the box says its ABS plastic... the APC eyebrows look nice... but i want them to look different... i was also wondering what i should do to prep up the eyebrows... n what brand of primer, paint, sandpaper?? gimme all the details... im gonna do this myself... oh yeah... what other alternatives do i have to stick the eyebrows on other than the 3m tape?? any ideas?? i also wanna be able to take them off if ever n not have any sticky residue... thanks...

abs huh? never knew that, i use to sell that kind of drainage pipe, but anyways, for your basic prep job, if its a smooth flat piece of plastic, which it should be, just scuff it with red scotch-brite, and you should wipe it down about 2-3 times with prep-sol, rubbing alchohol, plastic prep, or such. now, depending on how close you want it to match your original paint depends on what you use, you can get an aerisol made at your local paint shop and base/clear it yourself, or you can try and find a close match at the local hardware store with their limited supply of krylon, sorry, but anything doing with krylon makes me cringe. then throw a couple coats of clear over that. also, spray a good layer of primer on it, any kind will do, then you have to scuff the primer before you paint. or you can drop all this off at a local paint/body shop and say "paint this so I can turn my sled into one sic ride", by the way, you can pick up any and all of these items at and auto paint store.

ok... i finished paintin em... i just used a small hacksaw n cut them very carefully...

here's what they were supposed to look like
