How about instead of the V1 style, you go with the V2 style:

Yours is the only opinion that matters. But since you're asking...

Adding aftermarket plastic to your car almost always makes it cheap and rice. These eyelids however, are pretty subtle. In your case, you've already committed to an aftermarket look with that front lip, so I say keep the lids...

...and get rid of that bling-bling offset license plate frame.

For the record, the ones from Xtreme Eyelids / Fibre Customs on eBay are made from fiberglass.

I can vouch since the pretty ones in my picture I broke when trying to remove them. I do have another set now, but they are essentially flat black now.

I do agree that eyelids can make or break a car. I had the original ones like the OP years ago, and no offense to anyone, but at certain angles they didn't look aggressive anymore as much as my car had depression.
Hence why I went with the V2s:

No lids. Looks to ricey and takes away from the aggressive look that 2k2/2k3 lights already have

Maybe its just the angle of the pic, but imo does not look agressive at all. Looks cheap

keep the lids bro. If anything go v2 lids to switch it up. Either way keep some form of lids on there...they look hot. I'm about to do the same with mine.
