I like them, but I bought some from MVTuning off ebay. Had I known about these, I probably would've ordered them, and paid the extra $40 for the painted eyelids.

Haven't installed them yet. Still pricing paint shops. 1st one priced out at $150 with installation. Gonna check out some other shops. I do have a couple pics of them just placed on the car to see how they'd look.

They look pretty good on the NGP. I have UW so the unpainted black will stick out.

But damn.. $150 to paint & ~$25 for the pieces themselves. I think NIA auto would be the best way to go. I still haven't found any other sellers.

Don't like at all. They remind me of those strips old people put down the side of their cars. Just extra tacked on, glued on stuff that doesnt look natural.

Plus shipping was $24 I think, so yeah, I wish I had seen the NIA design ones before I ordered The MVTuning. Plus I had to wait almost a month for them to arrive, coming from Russia.

Did you get them painted to match your car?
