Default Head light covers....Eyelids as shown, or CF

I bought these eyelid covers and had them painted. I know they come in different variations. Has anyone else seen these, or have a better idea for the Head lights? I havent seen many Z's with them and was wondering if they caused a problem somehowHead light covers....Eyelids as shown, or CF-parking-lot-028.jpg

i think eyelids or head lights covers just look stupid on are cars. they look great from factory. the only thing i would do is paint the inside of the headlight.

The circular covers make a serious statement. That statement is:

"I WISH I HAD A PORSCHE."

Personally, given the resemblance, I'd consider it to be demeaning to the Z. Do those eyelids that make it look like it has G37 headlights, if anything.

Default Personal Taste

I had them on my SB with the '03 headlights but didn't put them back on when I switched to the '06 headlights. I really liked them. They cover up that ugly orange reflector without opening up your lights then worrying if they are ever going to leak. They served another purpose for me also. When I blacked out all of the other lights/reflectors with that thick, dark tint I also did my headlights. It looked great but trapped the heat and I wound up with all kinds of little heat/stress cracks in the lenses. The covers helped hide that too.

I like them. Leave them on, and if you get tired of them it's not like they are tough to remove.

Take off those eyelid covers and put on a pair of eyelashes to go with those wheels.

i had covers like those a few years ago...then i had the orange strips taken out and painted the headlights black...get rid of the covers and switch the strips, it looks 100 times better...my opinion.

Lose the eyelids, they don't even fit correctly (and are ugly in general). Consider OEM 2006+ lights.

Id also lose the grill, tail lights and consider getting different wheels, none of which really flow with your body kit in my opinion.

Those are the worst looking eyelids I've ever seen....the circle look is stupid and they don't even fit right! Look at the angled shot...wtf? I can see the headlight underneath the bottom of the eyelid. Please take them off and don't reconsider putting them back on. Looks horrible, something I'd picture a worse-than-average Civic doing.

lol, that is one grill you could actually grill food on.

OP, is it the lighting in the attached pic, or does your bumper have the worst color matched paint ever?

As for the Eyelids....

I say the car is naturally Asian......

So naturally Asians don't have eyelids!


get rid of them !
