Default 3GS Eyelids available?

Hey guys. So I was wondering where I could get the Fabulous eyelids for my 3rd Gen. GS350 . I searched left and right and I couldn't find any of them at all. Could it be that they don't produce them anymore? If not, where can I find eyelids for the GS350 in general. I am aiming for a more aggressive look to my car that's why I am looking for eyelids. If anyone knows please reply, it would be great. Thanks

Hi. I have made my own eyelids for my 2007 GS 350.Don't laugh but i made them from an old plastic water bucket which had a hole in it.Just had to draw the shape with a fine marker pen,then used a sharp craft knife to carefully cut it out.I then used a bench grinder to smooth the curve out.I then used sandpaper to finish.The part of the eyelid that sits over the hump of the chrome headlight bezel was a little tricky .Had to carefully use a heat gun to soften the eyelid plastic in that area ,and while it was soft ,placed it on the car and pressed down to get the same hump, and held it there until the plastic cooled enough for the shape to become fixed..
As i am a retiree now i have time to do these things.Took almost all day to make the two eyelids and to bring them to perfection. They are now at the painters.As soon as i have them back and have fitted them to the car i will post the photos here...
