check ebay for official accolade eyelids, we were the first ones to make the eyelids for 04 lancer others either copied our shape or followed us...

Below a few pics of our headlight trim.

i photoshopped it... i dunno how big the real ones are... i was searching thru the registry and found around 15 04+s with eyelids (only used search word=eyelids) and only a very few of them actually turn out nice..... one of them was red with 4 PIAA huge off road lights, and one was a black with a huge body kit

Go with ACCOLADE eye lids....best finishing. Getting them painted might be pain in the *** but they will look good too

i was looking at accolades pics and i found that the pointy side doesnt really line up with the edge of the hood... does rrm have the same problem?

i was thinking of making my own actually....... is fiberglassing hard? :-D

i don't really like eyelids on our cars, they don't look that good to me. its really up to you, but i think our cars look better without them.

lol shamless plug. go with rrm, not accolade, imho a better and safer bet, and ive seen them in person i think they look a little better.

I'm not a fan of eyelids but if you were to buy them, order them from RRM
