To tell you the truth, that looks like they took the Wald eyelids and just modified them. That's my guess because the rest of the kit is a Wald Sports Line Altezza kit...

They look like the one on the TopSecret looking colored IS300 except for the one on the gold IS has the middle brow shaved. My bet is that those are just modified TOM's. Too similar in other places.

Yeah, after looking at it again, I think I'm with Globe on them being TOM'S...looks like they just shaved off a little of the "point" in the middle of the eyelids...

You guys could be on point with saying that these are toms but shaved down, I just heard from an unreliable source that they were called ugo k eyelids. I dont think anyone has ever heard of ugo k. I think its safe to say that they are moddified toms, but they do look good.

i dont know...im still not convinced that they are toms...if you look above the high beams and low beams, on the toms its a lot thinner than on the gold IS. I still think they are some other kind. You know...it could be just the regular uncut lids that were custom cut.

UGO = Ukyo Katayama...I have UGO STB's (front and rear). Unfortunately, I don't have a huge resource of IS stuff so I'm going on somewhat limited information...

Either way, you can just take the TOM'S one (which is readily available) and just mod it a little...wouldn't take much...

You can ask Steve Ganz about UGO stuff....
