I35 eyelids
I've had some molded ABS plastic eyelids made for the A33 I30/I35. I'm hoping that this will help add to the list of products available specifically for the I35. They're $45 shipped. They're available from the site (www.paradox-systems.com)

When I get them I'll mock 'em up on the car and shoot some pics, though I think I might hold off on actually installing them until I get my other set of headlights done.
So...you can at least see them on a black car..

Hey, you mentioned other headlights? Got anything in the works for OEM?

Cant wait to see pics of these things. I made some of my own eyelids a couple years back which arched over both of the reflectors. Unfortunately I never got around to painting them.
Hey Mojo, would you ever consider making the A33 Half window spoiler in CF like the 6th gen? I would definitely be interested in that.

I'm glad people are excited about this. This item is brand new so unfortunately I don't have any installed pics. It would be best to have these painted to match the car, I guess having them on a black car unpainted would work but won't be a perfect match.
With the price of CF and the minimum involved in making products, its hard for me to justify making them. I'd have to get at least 15-20 pre-orders to get something like that to happen, at a reasonable price.

I'll pull the car out of the garage a little bit later and snap some pics.

Snapped a few pics:
Couple more (LARGER) photos found here:

Keep in mind, they're unpainted, and not taped down, I just press-fit them on there. But the fit is pretty good, and I definitely like the way they look.

You can view larger, close up pics by clicking the Google Album link.
Choose the photo you want, then click the "zoom in" button at the upper right of the image (looks like a magnifying glass).
Here's one (you can view them even larger at the album site):

That's just a guess though...I'll have to wait until I can put them on there and see.

Thanks for the close-up pix. This is now a must do for me! If we could get them to droop down in between the high and low's it would be perfect!
I dunno, maybe I should just make my own again and get them painted... Unfortunately they would not be ABS though. Aaarrrgg... Decisions, decisions.

I am so ready to make a purchase. I am just curious about the beam pattern. We already have poor OEM beam pattern, I just want to make sure that I don't loose any of the beam until "You" finish the OEM projectors.

I know I've seen BMW's with Eyelids before, but I can't remember how they looked or if the halos were even cut off a little bit or not.
