Default NIA auto design eyelids

Hey guys, I was approached to do a sponsorship by Kevin of NIA auto design at the REMIX car show here in S.Florida a little while back; They're starting a line for eyelids for the 2IS, just wanted to show you guys what they look like on the car, input is more than welcomed good or bad.

1. Where can I get these, and how much?

2. Does it affect headlight functionality at all?

I can get the info on pricing for you, and no it doesn't affect visibility at all, it curves along with the lens cover an it's right above the housing of the light

Their not bad, but I dont understand why painting the headlights on the is isnt more popular. The infiniti and Z crowd its huge and looks great, why dont more people do that?

I personally already like the shape of the IS headlights. I think they flow very nicely with the lines on the car. The eyelids kind of make the front of the car look cluttered and messy...it adds extra lines in an area of the car where there are already a lot of lines from the meeting of the hood and the fender (even if you can't tell from a distance).

They aren't to my liking, but they do make the car look kinda angry....in which case I can see how it would appeal to others!
