this is where you would email me, or do a search and revive the old thread IMO..

Anyways, he makes these by hand. He may be on vacation...

I usually get a 2-3 day email turnaround from him. When did you msg him?

Not trying to be a smart guy... but now this thread has no purpose anymore!

No biggie, the guy is really nice and makes a great quality product.Well worth the wait.

When you get them make sure you have flex agent in the paint!

LBC, I STILL have not gotten my fiberglass eyelids painted. What's the purpose of the flex agent? To prevent paint chipping when they are curved and applied?

And to answer the originaly question, I got my eyelids for my 05 Sedan on http://www.body-kit.com. They don't currently show any product available for any Altima after 2006, but you have to e-mail them for part availability and pricing anyway. So, I would ask them if they have anything available - it's a piece of cake to make them, so they'd be foolish to turn you away and say they can't make them for you.

well i cant speak of your guys quality or anything like that, you will have to make that decision....

The flex agent should be used on all painted parts IMHO.... but when you put them on, theres a slight slight, SLIGHT gap between the eyelid in the middle (the edges have the 3m, the middle doesnt). As a result, if you dont use flex agent, and you push on them too hard, or some clown sits on your headlight for some reason it MAY bend.

First time my guy didnt use flex agent, and one of my 300+lb business partners was leaning on the coupe while we were hanging in the parking lot... There was a slight fold in the eyelid.

The Ebay seller was nice enough to send me out a free replacement though!
