buy gto headlight covers(jc whitney used to sell them cheap back in the day), get the clear instead of the smoke. mask it. paint the INSIDE so the outside gets a nice glossy look. cut them your tastes or leave them whole. you'll save at cool $100 bucks.

*NOTE*
I don't actually know if gto makes headlight covers for the TL. I've done this for other cars before and it works great.

some show cars DO you vinyl because its better and sometimes quality of eyelides are cheap and they arent perfect. you should try vinyl, its not as bad as you think.
