ohh those eyelids look like my vinyl sidemarker covers. either way awesome addition. if no one sells them vinyl should do just fine. easy to make and cheap too. My sidemaker covers were $14 so I tipped the kid who put them on like $20 to do it. Plus he showed me how to do it and gave me extra vinyl enough to do about 2 more sets of sidemaker covers. Soap and water and a piece of cardboard to smooth out bubbles. then a hair dryer or the sun to dry them. not too close with the hairdryer though.
Sorry vinyl is a tape, nothing like these!!! They MAY look like them in a picture but side by side you can tell the difference!!! Now I'm not bustin since I support the work Bat does. I just have different taste...
Mine seem to be hanging on tight!!!

Since I pulled out my Turbo and shipped it off to Turbonetics to get a leaking seal fixed I decided to remove my left front headlight and front bumper to fix 1 LED in the headight that goes to my Halo's and 2 that were out on my front bumper that shines on my Intercooler (for night shows and meets). While the bumper was off, I also decided to paint small rock chips, clay bar, and wax it!!!

They are not a kit, I had them done at www.Customlightz.com. Great guys (Richard/Bjorn), great prices and you can even ship your lights to them to get them modded. I drove down to Richmond, VA to their shop and had them done as well as had the insides painted which was even better since they also did all the wiring and power switch install. I later integrated my PIAA 9000 fog halo's and Bumper LED's all into the same switch for night shows/meets. Once I reinstall my Turbo, I will remount the headlight and front bumper and I will take a picture of everything on at once.

I thought about it.
What if i get headlight film and cut it to look like an eyelid i dont want to cover the whole light bc it may take away from my HID'S! i also wanted to cover the side of the light as well. Im debating if i should do, wat if it looks tacky. Let me know whatcha think.!

Yes i know what is stated in the post.
But why would you have the catch can if the crankcase air is just going to get released into open atmosphere.
Edit: I guess ill re-elaborate what im getting at. On a properly setup crankcase vent system the air is flowing OUT of that hose and to the Catch can correct? Then Continues flow outward to your filter there and out into open atmosphere. What is the point of catching oil particles that are already outbound when they are not going to be doing any harm. Except possibly a slightly more grimy engine bay. The catch can would be doing you more benefit if it were between your intake manifold and the VC. And not between an open element filter and VC.

With My Speed Force Racing Turbo kit, a small filter was sent to replace the hose from the crankshalf vent which then vent into the engine bay, well that soon got oily and yes it started blowing back residual oil into the engine bay and I love a clean engine so I custom made ($25) an oil catch can to trap the oil and still allow proper venting. So to elaborate, it was a cleanliness thing for me. 
Maybe I missed this, but what's the CFM rating on your new air filter? What's the CFM rating on your old K&N filter?

First I wanna say welcome to the org. Second I love the name.... Ohh and to answer your question I did a search and couldn't find anything for the 07-08 model. However you can do what I have done and make a template of what you want and go to a shop that does signs or even one online and have them make you them. Bluebat I believe also sells them, not sure if they are for the 07 and 08.
I have them for 07-08's
