so i installed some eyelids... pics
so i installed some eyelids... pics
they look interesting...
they're the ones from redlinemax. Basically, I have glass headlights and the nubs were ****ing me off so i only shaved half of it off. Then, I did a not-so-good paint job on eyelids, but i tried my best and sanded em over and over. They sorta don't match because my bumper/hood is full of chipmarks, and the eyelids are not. I think it'll even itself out after about 1k miles of highway driving lol.
anyways, pics aren't that great because it's dark. Maybe they'll grow on me, but it's been a while since i've done anything to her so i think i like it.

the rest of the pics are here:

I will post some daytime pics tomorrow too.

nadir, how come the eyelid doesnt go on the corner light as well.... on the pics i saw on the redlinemax site, it went all the way to the end of the corner light.. looks better that way IMO
you know what, there's like a pre-cut line or something in the corner/headlights... if I follow that, I can get an even eyelid using vinyl all the way from the headlight to the corners. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

as of now, im not really feeling them, but i think if you finished them up on the corner lights, it could look real nice. but it looks like youre already heading in that direction, so good job.

i don't think it looks bad at all. it goes a long with your clean front-end prety good. well... like you said, give it some times and maybe it'll grow on you. if you don't like, take them off. not a big deal...

Looks good.. I like it.
PS- We installed a set of those eyelids on a red max last week without shaving the headlight ***. It just sits a bit out instead of sitting flush.
