Default Eye Lids Question

Hi I'm just wondering what's the best brand of eye lids? I've been reading on this forum about it and I saw that some people use Fiber Eyelids, AUT, or they just vinyl it. What do you guys think is the best way to go? I've heard really good things about AUT. I don't care what people have to say on how eye lids would look, I just care about which one is the best way to go.

Thanks

I had eyelids on a past car and all i have to say is try and get a set that bolts on rather than using double sided tape. Going down the highway at 60 and you get a good gust of wind and it can rip those things right off.

I have AUT. The quality is fine, I used 3M tape and auto glue when I put 'em on (not worried about ever removing them).

Iv had 3 different types and the best so far are Charge speed eyelids. They are actually thick fiber glass. Not that flimsy cheap sh*t. Though dont know about cf lids...they may be pretty decent qaulity

Sweet looking Z! Whose wheels are those?

Loving the Chargespeed look and the painted CF hood with the vents left clear! Very classy!

Did they come w/ the tape or did you have to get your own.

The chargespeed came with only the eyelids. As for the others, I think they had double sided tape on them ready to go. Honestly though the tape is like $3 a pop.

I ended up using a clear adhesive from a caching gun, I forget what it was called. It doesnt harm the lights and it doesnt cause bumps from under the eyelids if you get the plastic ones liek double sided tape would do.
