thanks guys. I appreciate all feedback.
-yep the eyelids are Accolade's (bought with the group buy on this board)
-I did paint them myself (same as the grille)
-the lower mesh was installed by my dealer for 75$ canadian and I used the left overs to do the mesh behind my painted grilles.
I used double sided tape to stick them onto the headlights if anyone asks....

yeah I know but I didn't want to take off the bumper on my own..... maybe I should've.
I wanted at least that part of my car to look professionnal. and actually it was 35$ cdn
for the mesh and the remaining was for the time it took them to install it.
not too bad. Better off paying that and making the grilles on my own than paying 300$
for the "stock" mesh grilles they sell. and I like this look better! to each his own I guess.

I went to my local car parts shop which has a paint department and asked the guy to mix me up a can of paint for a RA phoenix Red. looks in his catalog, gets the right recipe and BAM. as easy as that.
that kind of paint is expensive though , 25$ CDN for a can. but it matches perfectly with the original paint.
