Was that meant as an insult?

Your eyelids look outa place ~ have you thought about using black on a white car? The white on white just sticks out like a sore thumb and quite cheap/unsightly....

On another note, have you guys thought of using a smoked tint material to hide/cover the amber reflectors on the side of the car?

There are reflectors on the side of the car? You mean the red ones on the rear of the car?

No, look inside your front headlights and one the sides of it (internally) there is one amber reflector facing the side of the car on each headlight.

I was talking about using tint film from the exterior to hide/mask it.

its the color not matching that throws them off. Fabulous makes eye lids for the GS, see if they will come out with color matched ones for the ISF. That will look much better if you are into that style.

I give you credit for trying!

The Fab ones are really good looking eyelids...makes me wonder why they would go through producing an entire kit but no the lids. They probably figured it wouldn't be a fan favorite, as demonstrated very clearly in this thread here.

You guy's are right, they aren't color matched, look cheap and blah blah, and I couldn't agree more and will be removing them soon however the concept is growing on me. They do enhance the front end of the car, giving it that mean look(like the IS-F needs to be any meaner )

Right now, I am looking into maybe some fiberglass pieces that can be painted...We'll see.
