There's another brand called "Dolce" but it doesn't seem possible to get those anymore. There was a guy on this forum that could get them, don't know if he is still around. I'm just re emerging back onto this forum after 5 years. I missed my old LS430 and decided to get another one. Also there's Good people on this forum that give sound advice.

I really like the look of the eyelids but $200 + the cost to paint them might not be worth it for some stick on fiberglass/plastic accents.
If I did get them I'd probably epoxy them on to the headlights. I heard they can blow of just using the 3m tape.

Here's a pic in silver.. The whole look of this car is just PERFECT. I'd copy this exact look. I wouldn't do the staggered look though. Just need to make sure this guy doesn't live in Massachusetts

You have a good point there because the headlights are already flush with fenders. The question is how high up will they sit. I have to get the measurements for thickness on these if possible.

I like that plan. I considered doing the same when I had an '01. However, mine was "pearl white" and matching vinyl to it was going to be hard. Maybe you could put on a vinyl sticker, then use touchup spray paint to match. Seems much cheaper.
