Made some eyelids from plexiglass. Sprayed one side, flipped it over, and the color matches almost perfectly and give it a glossy look.

What do you guys think? keep them or not?

The eyelids, ..I think they look good, but would need to see a close-up. The grill,..NO.

Clean looking car, though.

Doesn't look bad but I've never been a fan of eyelids on headlights that are curvaceous like the SC.

I think they would work on YOUR car, but the lines don't look quite even?

The eyelids look pretty good. Your bumper looks really nasty though...

No offense.
