Yes or No?

So i made myself another set of eyelids and just wanted to get a couple opinions on them.



I dont think the pictures really do them justice cell phone pics never do. They look much better in person.

not bad at all

I had a chargespeed grille with eyelids on my last car, so I always have a soft spot in me for them

what did you make it out of? IMO they just seem a bit too 'thick' for my personal taste...I'm actually thinking of making my own set out of fiberglass come this summer...but then again they make real ones for only 50 bucks so I might just get that

i think they're too thick, and need to be angled better to make the car look like it has a more "aggressive" look. that way it would look better (to me anyway cuz thats what i did), but thats a good start

your car looks like it's been

two things that make it look messed up are the the part that it transfers from lowbeam to corner; and that the centermost (by the grill) looks higher than the outermost, when I think it should be the other way around
but the color match looks good IMO

Haha exactly what I was going to say. Not bad though, I think they're too thick.

I'm not a big fan of eyelids myself, either, but those look pretty clean and I actually like them on your car.

Keep 'em til you get sick of them then take 'em off.

If they were more at an angle then it would look sick.

Something like this:



or






Just not as aggressive

Lol I didnt mean it to go down so far.. Just the angle is what I was getting at..

Here maybe something like this? with a little less covering the High beam (move the whole vinyl up about 1/2-3/4 inch... just a 10 min thing in photoshop. Too lazy to go any further and show you all what I mean exactly.
