eye lids

most eye lids are made from vinyl, and since vinyl is only available in common colors

black, white, red, yellow, silver, but no orange is avalable for sunburst orange cobalts

i am curious what owners of sunbust orange colored cobalt have done for eye-lids

reply with pictures would be nice

Option I went with was to cut up a set of headlight covers painted to match, can also be removed if needed

you can get some vinyl thats sunburst orange. just try and find a sign and graphics shop. there is a local place around me that does all the custom window stickers and they have just about any color you want even color changing vinyl. you just have to look. but best place is a sign or graphics shop. pretty cheap too probably run you like five bucks a piece
