My new Eye Lids and Bowtie !

Here's a couple of pics of my new eye lids and bowtie up front. Thought it needed a change. Pics of the HID's with the new eye lids will be up tonight. -Erik-









Planning on getting another set of headlights off Ebay and painting them black. Who know. Let the madness begin !

your cobalt looks tired. bowtie up front looks alot better than the orange color it comes in. did you do the rear emblem too? can't wait to see some pics of the HID kit installed.

Now that you mention it to me it looks grumpy . LOL !
I completly removed the rear emblem. Easier to wax and cleaner look.

Here's pics of the install I did on my SS. W/O the eye lids. -Erik-

Had them done at my Graphix Sponsor. Custom Work. He had to really work with it to get it done. They did a flawless job. -Erik-

would it not be possible to get the same look by having a body shop paint the lids on?
I am a painter and I can get a product for anything so it seems that painting should be an option. I will talk to my shop guy next week as I have a couple of things for him to do. One of those is to also touch up where the holes are under the front bowtie as I am doing the same as you with the SS.

I agree that the car looks sleepy. i don't like lids on headlights. on the other hand, the bowtie is sweet and i bet the HID's do too. the only headlight mod i've liked are the painted lights, corvette style.

Yes, it does look sleepy but I couldn't stand the HUGE headlight look. Just a temp mod for now though. In my original post I stated I too would preferr the painted headlight look. Just waiting to buy some on ebay.

Tedro - Yours do look very aggressive but like you stated in your edit they block out alot of the light. Looks grumpy ! All we need is the other 5 dwarfs ! Mine being Sleepy !
