Default Headlight eyelids painted and installed

I am one of those Z owners that always thought the headlights looked too happy. I finally purchased these carbon fiber eyelids and had them painted and intalled yesterday.

Doesn't any company make those eyelids in fiberglass or urathane? Why buy the carbon fiber ones if you planned on painting them? No wieght difference in such a small part.

The only fiberglass or urathane ones are from RSW, have to be special ordered from Japan (6 to 8 weeks), and were $132 > http://www.bulletproofautomotive.com...ail.php?ID=998

These are identical in shape, were being sold on eBay for $77 but are only available in carbon fiber. Since I am not a fan of the carbon fiber look, I had them painted.

However the company that sells them on eBay is horrible. They never shipped the item, kept lying to me about it, could not produce a tracking number, and finally shipped it 12 days later after I threatened to file a complaint with eBay, Paypal and the BBB.

That's exactly what I want to do to my headlights, but I also have the same problem of finding them other than in carbon fiber.

Hey Bat, can you make these in vinyl for us?

I'll try to take some pictures from further away and also some with the headlights on. Unfortunately, as you know, image size is not only limited to 640x480, but it also has to be less than 200kb which means clarity is impossible.

DO you take paypal?
