Thanks.......I'm glad that people like it, I was kind of unsure how it was gonna turn out, but I'm happy with it.

Kind of hard to do a how to now that's it's already together..............i have a friend that wants me to do the same thing to his Arrival Blue LS, so if I end up doing that I will make a how to. As for the bowtie; I just masked off the chrome and used some high heat black spray paint (all that i had at the time) and shot it with some clear.

 

I really don't like the eye lid idea because I have yet to see a car with similar headlights to our's which makes it a "stand out" like the corvette's dual brake light set up.

 

eye lids look good on vertain colors... i think it looks glld on the yellow red and black.. but i also like the insides of the headlights painted black to match my car. if i just painted my headlights insides black, then i wouldnt get eyelids.. but its a pain in the ass

 

I would send you a template if I had one. I made my eyelids simply by applying windex to the sticker putting it on the headlight, selecting an angle, than cutting it. I have a friend who knows how to make these professionally (he can make them look accurately like mine). Let me know if you guys are interested, I can tell him to make another pair. This is the first time my auto-teacher seen the eyelids, she said the front looks like a ford focus...

 

Where did you get that grill. And that Emblum cover or color.

 

go outside with a piece of paper, lay it on your eyelid, trace. mail it to me... done

I can have them made also, I would be willing to hook as many people up with them for as cheap as possible. but without a better look at yours I would need a template. I can even Make Crazy Shaped ones. I might do My taillights and see how it looks.

 

lowbalt those eyelids are hott. but i they have to block your light output to some point..

 

i like those, just not sure how easy it would be to color match arrival blue

 

Merc and FastSS06

Where's u guys get those eyelids I really like them and FastSS06 wicked grill with the back bowtie HAWTNESS!

 

Lazy Eye..

 

where is it? everyone is raving about this pic of the grill but i cant find it

 

how do you cut the eyelid's on the headlight? wouldn't that scratch the plastic by using a razor?

 

Nope there was no scratches, I was affraid of this myself, so I cut it very gently instead of pressing down hard.

the grill is looking great bro!! I did the same thing u did on my old car..i went to Home Depot bought the exact mesh and used it for a grill..and ur right it's pain to work with..i scratched the car couple times when i was installing it. OOH yah before i forget..where did u get your bowtie from? did u chrome it urself??

I designed and made my eye lids out of vinyl myself.

 

dude, those eyelids look so hot on that black one

 

mercury how did you color match yours?

 

his matches pretty good. I am just not fond of the fittment. But he also cut his himself, not by a machine like I would use. they look pretty good.

 

i would cut mine like lowbalt
