New lil exterior mod...Eyelids *pics*

well, i was bored one day, so i decided to order some eyelids for my car. Got them from a fellow .org'er (DaTHRILLR) who BTW provided FASSST shipping and was just all-around a kick a$$ guy to deal with, highly recommend him. Anyways, got them today, painted them and here ya go. Lemme know what you guys think.








Some angles it looks kinda weird, but overall im pleased.

Thanks. Paid 60bucks for them. Way cheaper than ive ever found. It is a nice high quality already formed plastic.


I'll also see tonight if they really have any effect on my lighting

yeah, good things they're plastic because I would imagine that the eye-lid stickers suck

Definately. These are held on by nice thick 3M double sided tape AND secured under the hood (they have a flap that extends toward the inner part of the headlight).


Also, for anyone wondering, i did not have to cut the headlight nubs...

They will probably look great on a black max because you wouldn't see any gaps.

That is soooooooooooooo true

many things look best on black cars, Maxima or not, because it eliminates the nasty gaps you see at times. That is why I got a black Maxima and I will always get black cars.

The only thing is it's a b!tch to keep a black car clean. But when it is, it owns all!

Thanks! Im not sure if you saw my video clips of my flows, but if you did, just picture it louder and meaner sounding now. I have since replaced my cat w/ a straight pipe and boy, the Flows are finally emitting more of the "hollow" flowmaster tone. No, it doesnt sound like a V-8, but it suits my tastes.



Oh, and those lil things that stick down toward the bumper are kinda growing on me
