Eye lids are nice, but I would suggest you to use a metal instead of vinyl then have it profesionally paint. Use a paper or card board to use as a pattern. Anything you may have in your mind will do and its your creation and of course, one of a kind. You can use a velcro or 3M tape to install it.

I was going to put an eyelid in my car before, but too many are doing on it so thats why I made my own style to stand out from the crowd. Now accord owner keep asking where did I bought mine.

As you can see above still un-finished. I cut it to exposed the headlights and drill a hole right above on it so there is no obstruction of the signal lights. Then have it painted professionally.

It's just like make-up - to make your car stand out from other similar models. Not my cup of tea, but whatever floats your boat. Some people do it nicely, some don't.

If you look at new cars today a lot of high end models have them so I can understand the fad...

Just make sure your modification is reversible if you're not 100% sure you want to keep it. That way you can just take it out as if nothing happened.

No....its not a metal. I used pre molded polymer then I cut it to shape the way I want then have it painted. I was going to use metal before till I saw this in the net, just like this one.

Fiber glass will do basta kaya mong gawin, if not pumunta ka doon sa mga latero at magpagawa ka. Again, use paper or cardboard to shape the way you want it then yan ang ipapakita mo sa kanila as a pattern at kaya pa nilang i-shape sa ilaw ng kotse mo para lapat na lapat.

pogi points lang ang function niya. and that's debatable, since some cars look better with them, some don't...at depende nga sa style nung eyelid as the others said.

a word of caution on vinyl eyelids, they look pretty tacky up close and look horrible if they start getting dirty or faded or chipped...
