Dont know if you fixed it but I read you were having problems with the fitment of one side. I have eye lids as well and was able to fix the fitting issue. I noticed the hood would rub badly on the left one as well(if your looking at the car standing in front of it).

I put the adhesive only on the bottom and outter edge of the eyelid. I didnt add any on the inner part of the eyelid. I noticed it frees up about 1/8 - 1/4 inch of space...which ends up leaving just enough to make it flush with the hood and fit correctly.

the red line shows where I put the adhesive.

Thanks, yeah I was planning on putting the adhesive there. I'll try to take a pic to show you what I am talking about the hood won't even close on the other side.

I know Bat . . . I tried them but they were not durable enough. The ones on the picture are the AUT eyelids painted to match my Silverstone color. But I do have your smoked headlights, taillights, front reflectors, and rear turn signal overlays.

I love the agreesiveness the eyelids give. I like to think of them as a accessory, they shouldnt be the only mod.

that is the price i was quoted for simply painting my tow hook cover. its because that is the cheapest they'll do it for because they have to order the paint and mix it and spray it. just a hassle for them i guess..
