Talking custom head/tail "lids" not 56k friendly

SUP!

so i wasn't happy with the current eyelids that are out there right now. i wanted them to follow the bumper line and be more "rectangular" so i made my own. i used that carbon fiber looking vinyl which i know isn't the best, but i was amazed at how closely it matched the color of my car.

head lights







tail lights








it wasn't that hard at all, and i think it was worth it. i'll try to get some pics in the day time tomorrow. let me know what you think!

kinda ghetto looking. It looks like exactly what you did, so I hope ur not trying to fool anybody into thinking ur lights are a different shape??? The headlights look alright, but the tails are a no-go in my book. Im not slammin your idea about modding tails, cause I modded mine, but your idea is just wrong.

that's what i was trying to accomplish.

i realize that they don't look like a different shape or anything...IMO "all" eyelids look like exactly what they are...a vinyl overlay. just thought i'd do something different cause i hate the point to them. thanks for the comment though. btw, you said you modded your tails...have any pics?
