I got a set of eyelids and installed them. I think the black looks good with the theme i'm trying to get going. I took the bug deflector off and it revealed that the stupid collision company scratched the paint off my hood when they reinstalled it. But thats minor and they are repainting my hood....But anyways...on to the pics

Hope you like...I know i like it better. The smile almost looks sadistic lol.
BTW, they arn't the film type, they are the abs plastic kind

Please paint them...

 

[Sean2010]

Naaa...I don't think i'm going to paint them. I like the way they look now. They stand out better. If I get them painted then I don't think they'll look like eyelids anymore but more like an extension of the hood

They just look cheap and out of place, but I understand...just like people putting on unpainted lips on...some people think it looks good...

They just look cheap and out of place, but I understand...just like people putting on unpainted lips on...some people FEEL it looks good...

And thats the main point. I've seen unpainted lips on some cars and it makes it look awesome. I'm trying to keep a Black/ Blue theme for my car. So taillights, side markers, windows, eyelids all blacked out. Interior blue LED lighting, and blue exterior led fog lighting.

The black contrasts the blue so it will stand out. Thats why you see women put different colours of make up on their eyelids. To make their eyes stand out.

Tinted my trunk brake light. I have to do the reflectors in the rear as well but dunno how o take them off....anyone know how?

Looks good, did you use nite shades?

As for the relectors, I used southern surfer vinyl overlays, I have some pics of them in the first post of my build thread. http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123766757-Wife-s-new-baby You could also try contacting blue batmobile on here....he may have them now as well.

 

[Sean2010]

In your thread, did you show how you took the reflectors off or did you put the vinyl on while they were still on the car...and yes, I used nightshades

 

[CTt3P5]

No need to take them off. They vinyl is pre-cut to fit....just clean them up and use some soapy water to get them in place, a hair dryer to dry them out and a credit card to take care of any wrinkles. Took me about 15 minutes.
