Eyelid Redo - Slimsride - 10-16-2005

Okay, I wasn't completely happy with how low the eyelids on my headlights went, so i redid them. This time i didn't bother with taking them off the car...(tooooo much work), so i masked them this time.

Now, i think they look better, and the chrome on the top part of my housing is completely covered...much better i think.


original eyelid and how much more i wanted to add. almost a 1/2 inch

A little bit of light bleeds out the top..i'll fix that with touch up...

look good dude, and yea, you gotta fix that light on the top seeping through

Looks good! But the light coming through the tops of both is noticeable still, as Smith21 posted.

I preferred the eyelids as they were when you did them the first time. Just me tho

You got balls painting your headlights in the first place, nevermind on the car.

Yeah I agree, I personally would have went the vinyl route but it would be a PITA to get them to color matched. Too bad someone wouldn't bring out a set like the KAMEI ones they make for the pre 2005 ones.

I'm just a stickler for details, but fix the light coming through the top. It cheapens the whole experience. :(

Yeah a touch-up will fix it.

I'm in the "it looks better now than it did before" camp. Good job!
