Ron Jon eyelids ????

The other day i pm the R/J sponsor and asked if they would make eyelids for the TSX and he said that if the TL eyelids do well that they might do it for the TSX and a grille.... but he said "might" and that means a long wait and maybe nothing. so I thought maybe we can start a petition or something to convince them to do it..



i dont know about you but i think thats hot!! and, that is just a quick design by me. just imagine what their version would look like...

I like it and all that but man that takes away 50% of vision!!~ I like the idea but I think light is more important than style.

That black Tl is sick tho1!~

I think the eyelid on the TL is too much!! it covers half the H/L man...why don't just black out the light! Some member on the other TSX forum started a project w/ TSX eyelids w/ ABS plastic....i don't know how it turned out though~

I think eyelids on M3 and IS300 are nice...but TSX>..don't know~

Sweet rides.........the eyelids give the cars a more aggressive look IMO. Wish R/J made a bodykit like that for the TSX..........

I had Kamei Eyelids on my old C36. Looked good but the problem that arose was the silicon I used to adhere them to the headlight. The heat shattered the glass lense. It looked pretty good but in the end I took them off because it looked ricey. I mean, It's nice ABS plastic and all but people started makes eyelids out of tape and paint and iot just started to look tacky.

If it blocks the project there is no way I'd ever get one, otherwise if it looked good I would think about it at least

Imo, our headlights are aggressive looking already. Adding the eye lids is an overkill.

I had eyelids on my 99 Civic and liked them. Gave the car a meaner look IMO

Eyelids are fine on a non-projector type headlamp, but with the TL and TSX projector, covering that much area is just going to reduce the effectiveness of the lights.

I 100% agree. The TSX and TL do not need eyelids. I think we have the best looking headlight housing in its class. People need eyelids to make their headlights look like ours.

Our TSX headlights are already pretty lean and thin(meaning they are not square like other cars but have a thin parallelogram shaped headlight). Thats why I liked the TSX stock so much. So putting eyelids on an already thin headlights is just
On a BMW 3 series or an M3 maybe.

looks ugly. IMO good eyelids change the shape of the headlight or flow with the body. all of the photochops I've seen just put an even strip across the top of the headlight and keep the same size but just make the lense smaller. what's the point

^^ gives the car a much more agressive look to is, especially when parked next to another TSX

also, i am guessing, itll prevent the HIDs from bothering other drivers on the road

I think we should leave anything that has to do with lighting alone. Its a big safety issue in my book.

why dont people just try makin eyelids.... trace the headlight so some paper... draw your lines in, find the right kinda material. try to match color... attach it lightly (incase its a dumb idea).

if people acutally pay over $30 for eyelids thats crazy. maybe paint costs money..

Ok, eyelids on a BMW is hot





Sorry (dont want to be a hater but) Eyelids on a TSX is just straight out RICE-TASTIC!
I'd hate to have Bimmer guys drive by and make fun of us TSX owners. But hey, who cares what they think right?
