Well, since this is not a very common mod with the 5th gens, I think this deserves to be left here. I had these custom ordered from S.K. about a year ago and I finally got around to getting them painted. MacAlert was getting his body kit painted, so knowing full well there would be left-over KT3 paint, I figured this would be the perfect opportunity to get the eyelids painted for dirt cheap. $25 and I had them back the next day. Oh and I haven't applied the double sided tape yet, so I know the edges are pertruding a little. Here are the pictures, thoughts are welcome - negative or positive:

 

Just IMO though

Looks as if though they don't match well with the hood.

 

I like them they arent to drastic. How much were they?

 

Looks okay to me, fitment needs improvement... it looks like the driver's side lid has both edges sticking out...

 

Well, all eyelids look like that, really. They haven't been taped down yet, either.

 

A lot. $100.

And please...people read what I wrote, they haven't been taped down yet. I know they are sticking out. Puppetmaster, you of all people (with your newbie Googlizing ways) need to read what I wrote again. :P

 

WOW! cough..... rip off

 

Hey, I quit that habit a long time ago...

And yeah, my bad... apparently I also quit reading a long time ago...

Btw, did I mention that the edges stick out a lil?

 

If the pics weren't so big, and maybe post when all is said and done ..

 

I like......think this has anything to do with it.....



And yes, they are expensive. But there aren't that many 5th gens that have them.

 

the paint looks decent, are they a little lighter than the rest of the car? never was a fan of the shape of the syndicate ones though. i have had theirs and now i have the autoaccessorystore.com ones and i like them a lot better. but overall...nice job

 

Atleast you got your **** already!!! I have to wait another freakin day for my kit. Oh wait.....I have to wait more for him to fix my rear lip!!!

 

$100?!?! how much hp? no dyno, no care.

 

so why is it that people dont just paint an eyelid on their headlights?

 

The eyelids produce exactly the same amount of HP as your kit does.

 

The paint is flawless, so is the match. And yes, they did cost a lot. And the edges don't stick out anymore, I have taped them down now.

Oh and I feel a little bit of a power increase around the 4500k mark. At least 15HP and 12TQ.

 

Poor Ravi...I hope he doesn't blow you off, dude. When I asked him about the crack he was way too quick to dismiss it.

 

I like the eyelids... that chrome strip...

sorry I am just not feeling it.

 

is it me? or your sig jsut looks like you have purple tints.

 

My sig? I don't see any purple... :\

 

Look out the back window, you'll see it.

 

Oh, that sh*t. It's just black mixing in with the sunset in the background. Hahaha. No way in hell is my tint purple.

 

Good...bc purple tint is and

I don't think your "eyebrows" cover enough of the head light. I like them to give it more of an agressive look.

 

they look cool but kinda thin for my taste
not to steal your thread or anything ...
but even though mine are vinyl ....
i prefer these.

 

Mine are polyurethane and strong as hell. =P

But yeah, I agree with you that they don't cover enough of the headlight.

 

Whats with the chrome stripping?

 

they are okay..but i like these more, but thats just me

 

not possible. gains in hp for exterior mods = .5hp*(sq in of car covered). this means while nypd-ahnold is getting 15hp with the eyelids, i'm getting 95hp with the stealin. suckers!



they look ok to me though. undecided whether i'd put them on my max.

 

Those suck. They don't cover the turn signal part of the headlight - just the housing. And they're thin and cheap. I had 'em and sold them.

 

How much were yours?

 

They especially good w/DDE...even though u can barely make them out in this pic...

 

I like them... they arent too flashy, but very subtle. but i would go with ones that are a bit thicker. here are mine when i had my factory headlight:

 

They cost like 45-60. You can spot them on ebay sometimes.

 

im not feeling the crome strip

 

I don't really care. That's not what this thread is about. The chrome strip is there to protect my bumper. I was driving around with clean bumpers for 3 days, and my rear bumper got 5 different paint chips -- so back the protection went. I live in NYC, people can't park here for sh*t.

 

not really my taste, eyelids tend to make cars look aggressive, those dont seem to so maybe thats why im not a big fan

 

they look better than your chrome granny buick strips..but thats just my opinion

 

Ummm...ok. You hurt my feelings? *shrugs*

 

Yeah i like them both though...i'm going with eyelids too, but me choice got tougher now....

 

Looks like ****.
