Eyelids for headlights?

Do they exist for the 3g?

I love how eyelids make cars look more aggressive, and that is my whole plan going into this build.

that shit looks ugly as hell why would you want to do this to your TL? the TL headlights look amazing AS IS. and now you want to go and put on some cheap sticky adhesive over it?

some cars can pull the look, some cant. eyelids and eyebrows DO NOT belong on the TL. i could understand if it was heavily modified, than it may flow better. but on a stock tl with maybe some rims and a a-spec kit that shit still looks ugly as fuk

be glad you don't stay near me. if i saw eyelids or eyebrows on a tl i'd rip that shit off

I'm not so much opposed to the look of them as I am the fact that it reduces your lights output. I love how bright my HID's are, that sharp crisp line from the projector, I wouldnt alter that in ANY way. But I do have to agree that I dont like that way it looks on the TL.

Haha, you people need to relax; seriously, you're so raved up about something so small....

Would I do eyelids? No I wouldn't, since the TL headlights are already narrow. I ran those for about a day and took em off for shits and giggles.

I like eyelids on some cars, although our car I don't think would look good. Brians car looks pretty good I think but thats also mostly probably since everything is blacked out including how dark the picture is with the angel eyes. Our headlights though are just too narrow to do it with I believe. I mean look at RJ's kit. Looks like you will have hardly any light output.

If you really like eyelids though why not try it with the di-noc. Personally I don't think it would look good but go for it. The worst that can happen is you don't like it so take it off, kinda like how brian did for you guys to see if there would be any really chance for them.

That TSX is nice, right up until I noticed you have that bug deflector on the hood #youdontdriveaF150

I agree against the bug deflector. So odd on a sedan IMO. Not crazy about the tips but at least it is done pretty clean, unlike that one hacked TL.
