Talking Trim down NIA eyelids

Did a quick photoshop to see how the the NIA eyelids would look if I trimmed off the edge a bit to make it flow with the hood line. Looks similar to the Saraph eyelids. Leave it as it is or trim away?

1st pic, no eyelids
2nd pic, untouched eyelids
3rd pic, photoshopped eyelids

Thanks everybody for suggesting no eyelids. I agree, no eyelids look cleaner. Didn't know what I was thinking LOL.

Almost has that "too small to even notice" look in the photoshop pic. I say leave as is (without trimming).

If you're going to have them, I like them trimmed.

We were thinking of making them how you are thinking of trimming them but, but lowered them to go over the projector slightly to give it that agressive look! I say leave them the way they are!

Not much love for eyelids . I was thinking the same thing, it looks cleaner without the eyelids. Reason why I haven't put them on having them for almost two weeks. Got them cheap though, was thinking of trying something new. I need to get my mod fix soon, if it won't be eyelids it must be something else

I agree no eyelids. It throws the front off and it semi looks retarded haha. I would keep it clean with no eyelids.
