my sad attempt at eyelids

the good part is i got the vynil for free, so there was no loss to me.

All you need now is the GM color match spray paint! Mask off and paint the lids to match and you got hottness! They look pretty good its just the wrong shade of red, which that can be fixed.

It doesn't look bad, it just needs to be colour matched is all!

Do you have your hood poped open? It looks like a gap or something between your headlight and where the hood starts. Maybe I'm just tired, was a long day.

You are looking for more of an almost traingular shape then, to make it look mean... time for more vinyl?

the problem with vinyl is that it starts to crease when you put it too far down on the head light. and i hardly had any vinyl
