Currently, I don't have an eyelid interest, even though it looks good, however, I would like to see one in Red Op also???

its a $20-25 investment...if it doesnt look good. just take it off. although I can see the concern about the Red. Black is a much easier color to match.


well I just installed mine. I need a better quality camera

I never noticed it in the pics, but when i look at it after you mentioned it i lightened the picture -- and it was just the angle that the pic was taken. Black on Black is hard to get the correct exposure/lighting.

I have the website where he posts his overlays and I already sent him an email that way. Thanks anyway Tek... can't wait to install this mod.

By the way, I heard you get a 3hp boost with the eyelids. Have you noticed it Tek??

Hey Wakkus --- don't mean to get off topic --- but I'm really liking the lower mesh valance on your ride ---- you modify one for an altima to fit??? think it will fit the stock front bumber cover??

gec, that lower grille will not look right on the stock bumper. I have the grille and it looked way too stupid. so I have it in storage until I get something else to make it look right. You need a stillen lip that has a cutout for the mesh grille to fit properly

Yep, this grille is for a 5th gen Maxima, also made by Street scene. After you install the Stillen front lip, it fits almost perfectly on the opening left on the bumper....
Thanks for the love!!

I just got my eyelids installed, and to tell you the truth, I'm not very happy. I was hoping to get the eyelids body colored, but got them transparent smoke!!! Here are some pics....

That's what I was worried about, and the reason I didn't buy mine yet... Yours are even worse than what I thought they'd look like (no offense, but you know it's true )... I want an overlay, not a sticker... if it's made from 3mm vinyl and looks like paper, it's not worth it IMO, especially if it doesn't match the body color exactly.

If somebody would take this and outline them in thick(er) plastic, and paint them with matching OEM paint then it's a better idea. Yeah it's expensive, but does anybody think those "smoke" ones are worth $40?

Similar issue with the majestic blue, its too light and does not have the metallic look to it.

Here is a pic of the sample he sent on my car:



Really now, how hard can it be to paint a piece of vinyl the right color people want??

They were $20, not $40, and I'm getting in touch with the guy right now to see what can be done. The ones on Tek's ride look very good, and I just wanted them to look body colored.

I think for our cars its recommended to get the double overlays. Its basically a black colored eyelid that goes underneath the body colored eyelid.

This makes it thick enough to block the HIDs from coming through.

I was going to point out you shoulda ordered double layered, but then saw this you should still order double layers.

So did you design "gray" to match Smoke?
