on the sides, the eyelids do match the hood. on the front i cut them back some so my xenons' beams aren't hindered.

i guess from now on, i'll just ask people that have different cars because everyone i've asked that drives different "nice" cars seems to like it. maybe i'm the only one on the 350z forum that doesn't care much for the "bug-eyed" stock Z look. oh well.

although it's poor quality, this is my favorite new pic. i especially like the way the car looks from the distance.

Black out your headlights. It is by far the best lighting mod you can do on a 06+ black Z. Simply looks great.

Can be a PITA to do, but worth every bit of it. I pause every time I walk to my car in a lighted lot (mall etc.); the lights look especially breathtaking under florescent lighting. And best of all, projector output isn't affected at all.

I can't see the pic but I don't need to because eyelids are a cheesy mod for any car, especially for what should be a classy 30G sports car.

Sorry but using decals, tape, vinyl, etc. on a headlight to make it appear a different shape, is pure CHESSE.

Be a man and modify the whole front of the hood an make custom headlights to fit. But do whatever I could use a good laugh when I'm in traffic anyway.

Sorry for being a d!ck but I'm having heavy duty PMS

It's pure chess.

By the way, bro, don't take any of the criticism personally. There are quite a few people on here who have the same thing going for their car. I also have black paint and briefly considered doing this. I went for the headlight blackout instead and was much happier than I think I would have been with the eyelids.

i may take off the eylids, but i'm not blacking out my headlights and sidemarkers; there has to be some contrast.

i don't like the blacked out sidemarkers at all. it looks like you cut out part of the bumper and then stuck it back in there with duct tape behind it. it may look all right on a white one though.
