Here are a few pics of my GELs (Ghetto EyeLids). All I used was electrical tape. It looks bad azz from a distance, but when you get close you can tell that it's just black tape, as you can see by the pictures. You can also see them HERE.

 

dont they sell sheets of vinyl....i'd like to make my own....I remember a car audio/performance shop
near me used to make custom eyelids out of vynil-
heat pressed...gotta pay them a visit

 

I hope the adhesive from the tape doesn't screw up your HID's. It would suck to pull that tape off and find haze. Otherwise it looks good.

 

I'm not feelin it personally. Sorry, maybe looks cooler in person, but I'm not feelin those pics. Its a ghetto mod tho, so thats all good!

 

Use black vinyl next time, you'll like it better. I used to vinyl up all the cars around here from taillights to windshields to racing stripes, oh man those were the days, RICE!

But I do like the eyelids you made.

 

please take the tape off your car... ...if you saw that on a honda you'd be screaming 'rice'

as people have pointed out they make black vinyl that'll do the same and will look better up close. Now that you know what it'll look like, drop the $10 for the vinyl and do it right.

 

i think it looks good in the pics...
can never tell what it was if you didn't tell us...
but i have to see it in person

 

i like it. looks clean.. maybe leftcoast tuning needs to make one that look exactly like it... cuz the one they made looks really ugly..

 

Very nice. That's how leftcoast tuning should make them!

 

i do remember someone making the eylids from magnetic tape. The magnetic tape was just thick enough to look real and it was sticky on one or two sides, and attached it on one side with the tape, and painted the other side... looked pretty good...

 

Can I apply black tape to my hood, and make it a " CF hood "......

 

I'm gonna use some to tint my windows!!
