Hey guys, I'm on my 2nd pair of eyelids for my 202.. Expensive because I have them molded to cover the gap over the corner lamps as well ><.
Anyway, I have had experiences with the things flying off.. I've been known to have 120mph indicated quite often. Last time I tried using a quick-set epoxy by scratching the lens a bit, and sanding the backing of the plastic, but it still flew off -.-.

I know lots of people have the Kamai or Rieger trims, what do you guys use to affix them? My latest set came with 3M 2-sided tape thingers, but I doubt that will hold up, lol.

hm i just use lots of 3M double sided tape along the entire eyelid, had it for over months and i go way over 120 alot, and its still tight and intact. oh the 3M i bought from the store, comes in a roll thingy, the kind that comes with the eyelids , dont use those.

I use 3M double sided tape. The gray ones. Very strong.

I'll try and throw a pic up, I was pondering just grabbing some black vynil and exacto-knifing it on there. We'll see how it ends up.
