Smile Finally! After a year and a half I painted and put on my eye lids :/


My lids like a year and a half ago. Just sitting around doing nothing


Lids just sitting there painted with no clear coat.


The front before anything...


The front after lids...


Lids just held up with no clear coat.


Lids on with some clear coat...


So what do you guys think? Too "ricetastic"? Does the color match?

kewl I like your eyelids are lancer kind of looks like mine Well at least the front set up. I just got my evo spoiler today so i'm pretty stoked on putting it on. I'll pull up my thread sometime this week to show my spoiler picks and you can compare our lancer's frontsides where you get your lids from?

The color I used was the "Dupli-Color" Import auto spray Silver (M) E881530. I tried their little color book but they didn't even have a single silver listed for Mitsubishi's. The store had likeartic silver and another. I just picked this one and prayed.

My lids are from RRM. I'm down for the challenge!

Eye lids are ricey, unless you paint them multi-colored or are HUGE... Looks fine! Looks like your "Evo" grill bows just like mine at the bottom. Bummer!

the lids don't look bad...the hood and rest of the car could use a good wash 'n' wax though
