Default Carbon Fiber Eyelids from eBay or no???

So from searching CL there are a lot of people who don't like eyelids for the headlights. I found these interesting ones on eBay and wanted people to weigh in on what they think.

I have a Matador Red Mica IS F and am planning to add some CF accents to the B and C pillars on the doors, CF inserts in the Lexus "L" emblems, CF front grill from C-mod but with the stock grill and not the wire one that they are sold with. Eventually I plan on getting the full Tom's CF kit as well.

How would these CF eyelids look on my car? Does anyone have any pics of them installed on their car?

I don't think it looks that good personally, but I've seen some color coded ones, and although they flow nicely with the hood and front fenders, I still wouldn't get it for my car.

If you like it just do it. Dont worry about anyone elses opinion, theyre not buying it for you. When it comes to aesthetics just do what you think is fun/right/cool

I think on some vehicles they actually improve the lines of the cars, with headlights getting so dam big on some as of late. Id have to see it in person before i give a thumbs up.

Color matched they can look good. I've seen them on other ISs. If you like them get them.
