Eyelids (headlight spoilers)

[The Speedfighter]

when I get a chance, ill be opening up the headlight and spraying all the silver black.

ill show you another car a before and after, its a very dramatic effect. would look good with your eyelids

I've done that on my Evo when I had one before this. And it looks stunning. But do you have HID/Xenon or normal lights??

And yes please, do send me a photo of that!!!!!

Yes but she is usually wearing a low top and short skirt so you're not looking at the eyes.

Basically if you have a great set of wheels and the ride height is just right people won't be looking at the lights

mate that's a very valid point

OK, this is the same as my old car. But not my actual old car.

I had eyelids on my pre-FL a while back, ones from briskoda..... anyway, one of them came off So now, no more eyelids.

It did look pretty good, but you could just about achieve the same look on a pre-fl car by using black trim tape.

On a silver car my vote is with the silver eyelids. It will "blend in" more and look like part of the bodywork.

I actually did a similar thing about 10yrs ago on a silver Mitsubishi Mirage with some eyelids, and i firstly tried a smoked gey/black look which i thought looked ok, but then tried silver and they looked much much better.

Anyway, you said you bought both black and silver, so i guess you will be able to experiment and decide for yourself what you think looks better.

Eyelids are bit 2007 aren't they? Haven't we moved on??


How about these instead

[The Speedfighter]

Guys thanks for all for your suggestions!! I've tried the black for now and see how it goes.
We've tried the silver ones, but it didn't make any kind of difference since the headlights are silver/chrome already. But you'll see it all on the 2nd of Feb, and tomorrow I'll make sure to post some photos of what it looks like now

Not a fan, personally... But that probably has something to do with the huge reflectors in there.
With Projectors () its okay.
