Painted Headlight Covers
Has anyone tried installed these eyelids? Eyelids

I am wondering about the quality and general look up close. It looks interesting in the picture...

Well, you asked for opinions - right? Here's mine:
I find these eye lids extremely ugly.
They remind me of a very bad comb-over

Actually less than free.
I saw some p-car headlight on ebay with the eye lids - they sold for quite a bit less than the ones without.

If they came that way from the factory, stripping them off would be the most popular mod.
