eyelids run around 75-200 dollars and paint & prep I would guess around 125 ish. Hell I cant remember because I was getting the wing, sideskirts and lip all done at the same time but it was relatively cheap.

The first pair I got the place I took them to sanded them too much and ruined them (too much prep) lol , so they bought me a second pair and painted them for free since I was getting other stuff done there. Bottom line I'd say its a 200 dollar mod done right.

I haven't noticed any difference. I picked mine up for under $50 and had them painted when the car was painted.

its only a small portion covering the headlights so it wouldn't really effect anything. headlight tint/smoke covers, yes they will effect the output.

nice Z by the way! like the rims.

One of my best friends did it for me as a wedding gift, he is one of my groomsmen. He works for a dealership but does custom work from his home in a garage he had built. I paid for the paint and gave him some cash. The doors, hood, trunk, molding, weather stripping all came off the car. Door jams and all corners other than inside the engine bay were sanded, primed, and painted. It would have been over $5000 easy to do it anywhere else.
