Do you eyelids match? Cause mine didn't. And Greg told me that I need to call Sarona...

That's not very good customer service if you ask me.

What do you mean match? They don't fit/line-up well? BTW your car is the only Max I've seen where the graphics actually suite the car well.

Thanks, I've received nothing but compliments on it.

Yeah, one is cut too short and the inner part next to grill is rounded, while the other one has a sharp cutoff to it.

The passenger side one is perfect. The driver side one is all f'd up.

Which equals me not being happy.

Just lined them up this morning all looks well one is not shorter than the other like others have claimed. Will know more after sanding off that nub.

I will say that there are alot of scratches and pits in the pieces.
I will probally have to do some filler/sanding work. And i have the feeling that wont be fun. I also bought a new grill for the car, and i think i may paint it like this. My car is the same color

Yeah that black/beige grill does look really nice, but also because he has the AE headlight mod. Look at his headlight closely, the outsides are black so they match the grill.

Yeah, Ben Garner (mzmtg) had directions for this on his old webpage. It was pretty easy if I remember correctly. You can search and try to find his old do-it-yourself page.
