ok, ok cut me some slack. I'm not as familiar with Nissan and Infinite as some. The reason I'm asking is because I want the eyelids.
The ones here.
There was also a thread in the classifieds for some 00 eyelids. Although the lights look different, they seem to have the same dimensions. Maybe someone who's seen more of them up close can shed some light for me.

The eyelids from the Max will not work. Not only are the headlights different dimensions, the lens also has a different curvature to it.

I tried making some of my own eyelids out of a magnet sheet with adheasive backing. They actually looked really cool (the shape), but I never painted them.

If you're interested you may want to try this.

Just make a template with poster board, when you have a shape you like transfer it over to the magnet and cut it out. You only need to make one cuz you can just flip it over for the other side (they will be the same this way).

I would think they would be kind of a pain to paint. Maybe you could remove the headlights, tape them up, and paint the brows while they're on the lamp to get the correct shape.

why couldn't you just paint it before you put them on the lights?
where do I buy the magnetic strips you're referring to and is there any reason in particular you chose that material?
