POLL Are these "Ricey"

anyone think this would be "RICEY"... I really want a clean look but i wanted to ask what you guys think ... I honesetly would not mind seeing a Carbon fiber hood for our cars... I know our hoods are SUPER light as it is... but for looks wise i think it would be hot...

ANYWAY... Are these eyelids ricey...

I have the carbon fiber pillars on my car for a long time. I brought them from someone else. I personally don't like any eyelids for my car. Members do have them, but its all up to you. Maybe if you get the pillar set up and than the CF eyelids it would match better.
I don't think it ricey.

I personally bought the vinyl overlays. They were like 10 bucks, matched paint, You may decide for this ones, but are a little pricey...

With your color car I think the CF set up would be straight. That or body color would look good. As far as being ricey man... If it had neons going down the sides with it then I think that would be ricey. Then I again I do ricey **** all the time. Then I'll take it off and change up some other stuff.

I think the eyelids should be body color. The pillars are okay; but they can get ricey quick;y, if you have more CF somewhere else.

I like the fiberglass ones. Get them painted to match and it should look pretty clean. But regardless, its your car, make it they way you want.

hmmm dunno bout that. I don't think the shape of our headlights would fit eyelids correctly without looking odd. I'd like to see someone try, other than myself of course.
