The eyelids are here, pics inside. (Same that Left Coast Tuning used to sell)

So after extensive searching, one of my boys found the manufacturer of the eyelids that LCT used to sell. I don't think I'm supposed to talk about, so I won't -- so please no PMs. Him and I paid a good bit for them, but we both wanted them equally bad so price didn't seem like much of an issue. Well, after about a month of waiting they were finally made and delivered.

They are sturdy as hell and the fitment is perfect. They go through the seams of the hood and headlights and must be attached with double sided tape. The quality is class. I have to get them painted to match my Sterling, which is something I may do in the next few days. Further pics after that.

I've already had them on the car, they fit just right. And I don't understand how you can say they are terrible quality.

I agree with you...it doesn't. But it's a matter of how badly I wanted a quality product that is damn near impossible to find for a Maxima. And I wanted it pretty bad.

If you paid $100 looks like LCT only made $15 off me. I was the last person to get these from LCT. I think they are awesome looking and fitment was great (for the straight style) They originally send me the curved ones (which I didn't order) and one didn't fit very good and the curve stuck out away from the headlight.

There was probably a reason why LCT stopped dealing with that company, but I don't know what it was.

What is the point of them? Looks? Or will it affect lighting in any way? I am asking because I don't know.
