BlueBatMobile Eyelids installed

[reflexx]

just installed the eyelids and they look great!! yeeeaa!!

[tuffmag]

Sorry bro, but the lids just do not do it for me...I also have the same color car.

Going to sound but does the light shine through the lid?

looking down on the car is what i really do not like, but the front shot rocks .

It seems my age could have a factor in liking or not liking...

[LongBeachCoupe]

Hmm.... im not sure if its just a bad pic, a bad install.. or just not what i was expecting... im glad you are pleased with them (thats ALL that matters!)... This is not what i was looking for, thats why i went fiberglass...

[bina12834]

looks like a bad install to me (no offense dude....if you like them then, hey, its all good)

[Voodoo Coupe]

I really want to add some eyelids, my huge problem is the vinyl dosnt match the car. which is why I havnt cut my own. I'd prefer fiberglass eyelids that I could actually color match. I've been thinking maybe just going flat black since other pieces on my car are flat black anyways but yea the winter forest color just dosnt match gloss white vinyl but thats just my opinion.

yes the light shines through the lids.. but i needa disconnect it which should be easy..

and ya considering this took like 20 minutes to install its not going to look that good.. but eh.. what ever.. i think it was worth 20$ for a look that i like.. oh.. and the fact that im 17.. im just doing what ever i can to my carr since it is my first reall car considering the old SUV i used to have haha

I thought that at 1st, but now I'm thinking it's because of the color. Being white, any gaps are going to be magnified 10x. I think on a darker car, you really wouldn't notice it. Props to the OP for modding his car without being ricer.

ya if my car was black then the gaps would just blend in.. ur right..

and haha thankss

[LongBeachCoupe]

wrong... gaps are UNACCEPTABLE... or i wouldnt just have an eyelid.. id have an eyebrow of light coming out the side....

[MikeisSUPERBAD]

ehh in my honest opinion... in those pics the lids color and car color dont match... the car looks like an egg shell white... while the lids look like a glossy or super white. the color difference is the first thing i noticed and then the gaps.

Had to say it...(dont take offense anyone!) "You're in my home. White people who know the difference between good shet and bad shet , this is the house they come to. Now, my shet.. I'll take the Pepsi challenge with that vinyl shet, any day of the f'in week." -Lance

Heres where the water seperates from the oil.. it may just be a shoddy install, but light shines thru? no go in my book...

[LongBeachCoupe]

reflexx.. dont take this as an insult by any means... (its been noted many times that installs like this are super difficult)...

I got mine for 55 and got them painted free (woulda cost me another 20).... and i could have put them on in the dark... perfect fit... Theres plenty of BUDGET mods out there.. follow my path.. price is king.. and retail is for suckers! What a sweet 1st ride... keep it clean, keep it classy!

YEp, yep...shoh nuff the black looks like professional install,

sorry Flexx, man you are taking away from the beauty of the white Altima with the vinyl off color white crap. even if you are 17....but that is my .02 IMHO....

ehh w.e when i get the time to get the new ones which will be probably when i get my bumper.. ill get em to and replace em

[Sacky2.5]

yeah... not my cup of tea either.

if you're gonna do lids, do it right, or don't do it at all IMO. you're gonna make the car look WORSE than it originally did.

as long as you like it, its all that matters.

[saywat]

no deals man..the headlights are too narrow..dont mess it up with ricer eyelids

[MaksimSF]

Ah I totalled my silver 2.5 so i'm gona go for Black one, where can I buy fiberglass one?

Yup, I'm going the same route as you exactly because of this. Will be ordering from e-bay soon enough.

[08altima35]

they both look the same to me and i personally would never take that route with the other options out there. of course the black eyelids are going to look better than the white because you don't notice the gap on the black because the space between the eyelid and the hood is going to be a darker shade than white. but again... i think eyelids are cheesy lookin' anyway.

[LongBeachCoupe]

Ok guys... im going to take some more pics of mine in a min and post them here.. its not because mine are black, its because they dont end at the edge of the light like the see-thru vinyl does. They wrap around under the hood so it doesnt look like this... stay tuned...

Also, if you want to EMAIL THE SELLER and get it for cheaper than the ebay auction by going direct, send CURTIS an email at [email protected] and tell him LongBeachCoupe sent ya!

Eyelids have always look cheesy IMHO. I have seen the most expensive eyelid upgrades, in the hundreds of dollar ranges, on M3's and other show BMW's many times. They always turn out looking like they didn't come on the car for a reason.....sorry

[LongBeachCoupe]

isnt that the point though? does your fascia look like it didnt come on the car? I mean i dont know any cars that come like that.... (thats why your car gets looks right?) maybe you didnt use the right word choice blake?

Maybe you mean that it doesnt "look right" ?

Ah, but thats the beauty of tasteful upgrades. To the basic on looker, the fascia looks like it could be stock, but they aren't sure. You dunno how many times people don't realize I have after market bodywork done on the car. Its because it flows so nicely. I don't put things on my car that stick out. I put things together that flow and blend well to make a great looking, after market, package
