i like how the headlights look already. their shape fits well with the curvature of the front, but these eyelids totally change all that.

I voted "not for me." I like how eyelids look on other cars, but not the 2IS.

Those actually look much better than I thought they would. They fit the lines on the car very well.

... But it's still probably not something I would do.

I'd be interested to see some pics from different angles of the whole car, though.

I think the light are fine the way they came, but if you are going for the import racer type thing sure, it looks good.

I really like them, I could understand how people don't though. How did you make those? Looks like you just painted them on.
