Eyelids group deal suggestion

I have been looking at the saronas eyelids and I think they look crapy, cheap plus expensive. I think some one should create more aggressive looking eyelids, and have a group deal.

The 02-03 HID headlamps have the same basic shape as on 00-01's. That's why people can do the swap. However, on the outside surface, they're not the same. The 00-01 has a bulge where the signal light housing is, and the 02-03 does NOT have that bulge.

So hopefully you will still try to design one for the 02's.

I think it's being considered but it looks like there's more interest in making one for the HID's so I think these guys are gonna make those first.

Guys with '02+: The arch doesn't look that great in my opinion, but I'll post pics anyways of them soon.
I know this may be too much to ask for, but if you posted pics of both the arch and the other shape, then you would probably get orders right then and there. Just an idea.

Hey, another idea, charge extra to have them painted stock colors. You could make a few extra bucks that way.

I was thinking of something like from the hood line and then it wrapping around to the side. I'll try and do something with photoshop but I don't know how to post it.

Ehhh, I just tried it and yeah, it looks a little wierd, probably cause of my poor photoshop skills. IMHO, I like it better.

They involve cutting and heating Avs covers. I had a write up a long time ago so Ill have to look for it. If not then Ill just take the time to write all the steps I did to make them.
