The only other option other than laying vinyl, would to buy some flat black plastic ones from ebay, and prime and paint them silver. You can get 94-97 accord eyelids, but you'd have to cut them, and modify them to fit. Then you could paint them. OR like they said, just get some vinyl, and paint it. and attach it to the light.

it's too bad someone doesn't make them because they could easily make quite a bit of money

I can take some pics, all you have to do is trim them down, and make them fit.

hey nato, get yourself a dremel kit, you will find that the words "DIY" and "custom" aren't as scary and intimidating, atleast thats what happened to me when i got one... im making all sorts of stuff myself now, lol

with a dremel kit, youc an easily modify the eyelids... plus they're cool to use too lol, only $60 for a decent/semi-good one

if you do that, and put them on your car first, be careful not to cut up your headlights

I like the actual piece too, mine are molded carbon fiber, not crazy about the vinyl. But to each his own. Like the headlights, what kind are those?
