Looks great! I like what you're doing with the black accents on the car; inner side mirrors, eyelids, and grill area also. I see you!

Nice move with whiting out (plasti-dip?) the grill bars and Nissan emblem!

Looking real sharp.

Did you paint them or leave them flat black? How did you apply? 3m tape preapplied to them?

Also, while the eyelids are what's hot in the streets right now because they look so fresh: just curious, have you noticed any difference in light output while driving at night since you put 'em on? Lower? Stayed the same?

Holla back

That actually looks really nice especially on a white Maxima with pano roof.. The black eyelids really do pop up and add to the aggressive look and stance. I may consider doing this.

I do love the look, but I personally think it would be better color matched but that's your car and as long as your happy that's all that matters, op does the seller sell them in other colors or just black? I checked the page real quick, but it doesn't really specify

I'd be in for set of white

I didn't want to color match them BC I wanted the to stand out and actually look like eyelids instead of blending in to much with the good plus goes with my white/black theme.
