draevon - does it stick out at all, at the very front where it attaches to the bumper?

our front indacators are in a odd position thats why people proably pull out on you most other cars have there front indacators on the outer edge where as ours are obviously on the inside. that may be why you are getting that, but the eyelids do very little to obstruct the indacator. it only cover the direct view of the bulb but the reflector is still almost fully visable.
IF YOUR NOT LIVING ON THE EDGE YOUR TAKING UP TOO MUCH ROOM

Thanks mate sorry one more question as you walk around the front is the indicator still very visible say for example if you were on a roundabout. Also that car bra looks very interesting, I always wondered how the magnetic car bra worked as the front of our lancers are all old plastic coke bottles.

as for the car bra, the bonnet is metal si it sticks. and i have people tell me it looks really aggressive on the road.

as for the indicator, its visable from all angels.

No bd, mine sits in pretty neat, but yeah yours definately looks like the top front corner is sticking out a bit. Not sure if it's just mounting, but maybe the designs are slightly different. Looking at the two images, the top whole on mine does look a bit of a different shape to yours, so maybe it's just not quite as nice a fit. The long actual eyelid part on yours looks a little thicker than on mine too. (I ended up paying about $170 for mine, so it's F-ing lucky it fit well).

PS, I love the car bra dude ... got details on that? I saw one on another forum but couldn't find any info.

yeah, i paid $50 off ebay but it was someone who had bought them elswhere for $200 but is selling the car now. i havent actually put them on properly yet.

the car bra is from http://autocityimports.com/2008-mitsubi ... -8271.html

they dont ship to OZ but i used one of Ofeys contacts, in total it cost $150, but i think its worth it.

I can see it being worth it, went to the coast 2 weeks ago after the rta had resealed a good 10 or so km of road, needless to say I now have 3 stone chips on my bonnet now instead of one.

Sweet ... yep I'm already in the process of ordering a bra :0 ... Can't wait.

Back on topic, pretty sure my eyelids are a slightly different shape. I'll take some shots again when I get home from the same angle as your pictures to compare.

If anyone is worried about people not seeing the indicator then by the X-factor folding mirrors, Extra indicators on the mirrors.

As a rule, I generally assume people can't see my car at all ... safer that way ... people are stupid.
