DIY eyelids.. keep em or no
Made some eyelids from plexiglass. Sprayed one side, flipped it over, and the color matches almost perfectly and give it a glossy look.
What do you guys think? keep them or not?

Doesn't look bad but I've never been a fan of eyelids on headlights that are curvaceous like the SC.

I think they would work on YOUR car, but the lines don't look quite even?

The eyelids look pretty good. Your bumper looks really nasty though...
No offense.
