IMO, I would try to get the vinyl as close as possible to the top of the light/beginining of the hood line and also have the eyelid end where the hood ends by the grill. Nice Job though...

Agreed. It should look as seamless as possible. Do the colors match well in person? They look a little off in the pictures. I vote re-do... there's always room for improvement in projects like these. I'm not much of a fan of eyelids anyway.

Thanks for fixing the post.

Upon second glance, the driver's side eyelid looks much better than the passenger's. That's what I mean by "seamless" but I still think both sides can be improved by cutting the vynil more closely to the shape of the headlight and sticking it on much closer to the corner.

I would recommend trying it over again. I think that if you can get them to look more seemless, it would look killer.

^That looks much better. If you can get the vinyl to cooperate, that placement is the ticket.
