DIY eyelids
First off i know this isn't to everyone's taste but I thought I'd share my little project so far.

I couldn't find any eyelids how I wanted (matching bonnet line and being straight) so I knocked these up with a little help from a couple of friends.

Looks very good. I'm a big fan of eyelids on ALOT of vehicles, guess I'm a ricer like that. Honestly I'm only worried about the light output now.

Sweet. You want to effectively cover up HALF of your available light output with stupid lids. Why not just go kouki if you're looking for something more sleek?

ps, your left side headlight is pushed in and doesn't line up with the hood. Fix that first.

I like Zenkis with eyelids, imo I think it just comes down too low.

Here's an idea, add metal to the hood to make this shape-
(crappy paint job, but you get the idea)

Seeing yours was what made me take the plunge,
I think I might end up trimming them a bit higher yet but I'm not going to be sure until I see them on and painted.
Going to mount them with Velcro joints so I can take them off and on as I please
