Carbon fiber would look bad ass on the white and blue EP's

I'm not into eyelids though. Good luck producing these.;)

I've seen carbonfiber hoods on black hondas.... not my taste, looks like dirty body parts to me......

fiberglass for me too. i got the NBP. dont like carbon fiber against the NBP paint cuz it has a bluish tint that clashes with the carbon fiber imo

how aggressive would these eyelids be? would they cover a lot or just a little bit of the upper portion of the headlight?

it will cover up most of the upper portion of the headlights. waiting for my friend to do a photoshop once.

Personally, I think it's ugly even if it is color matched. I think I'll go with the painting the inside from the "Projects" portion of the site. Much better look in my opinion....which usually means squat to anyone:'( ;)

here is what they use in europe


http://www.digitalpose.com/mbr/1/11008/p/292252_2732982612173710431_vl.jpg

what i like better about theirs is they have more of a shape/angle on the inner part. the one u have it just goes striaght across.

you think you a find a larger picture of that eyelid? what im trying to do is cover the circle parking light. maybe if it has more angle to it might look better.

sorry thats the biggest i could find. i guess they are concerned with keeping the parking light ( I personally could live without it) Do you think you could possibly follow that pattern but cover up the circle and see how that looks?

the only thing i dont like about those eyelids is that they're too thick IMO, other than that not too shabby
