New LeftCoast Tuning Headlight Eyelids V2 For 2K2-2K3
Ok, so here is the much anticipated headlight eyelid. This is a fiberglass prototype which is basically ready for production. It's just painted white, not paint-matched.
I'm quite proud of what we have produced here, based on the input on the original eyelids. It's a much more subtle piece than the 1st version, but retains a bit of an agressive look to it.
CLICK HERE for full pics and details.
Here's a teaser (don't mind the dirty car or cracked foglight):
...look at the time of this post...hard at work for YOU!

I LIKE IT!! The only thing I don't know if I really like is the part by the marker light (clear upper lense), it doesn't look like it "flows" right. Kinda looks like it curves down and then around the headlight.
If you decide to make the curve more smooth or not, COUNT ME IN!!!!!
Where do I send the money to?

As far as the "curve" it was designed that way on purpose to look best from all angles. A completely straight line would a.) look very boring, and b.) doesn't look all that good from all angles.

Simple and straight with a hint of agressiveness.

It is also designed to wrap around the top of the headlight (under the hood) which you can see in other pics through above link.

The link has been revised. These are designed to fit 02-03's perfectly. While the 00-01 headlight shape is the same, it has a dip/bulge which means these will not fit perfectly. They might fit if someone were to try and modify it themselves a bit...

I'm not going to go into too much detail, but the size and shape of the IS300 headlights and the lines of that car VS. the Maxima is still pretty different. The completely straight design does NOT look that great from all angles, especially at the outer sides, which is the tricky part. Also, we're trying to stay away from having any sharp points for durability and safety reasons.
Whether you get the Paintable Fiberglass OR the Carbon Fiber, you could always dremel/sand it down to whatever shape you like best.
