Q: will this fit an 08 altima coupe? i think its the same headlight but im not sure... if not, know when you would be able to make those?

Oct-09-07A: Nissan says the coupe headlights are alittle different then the sedan. I have not tested them to see if the area around the hood is the same. So I would have to say no for now.

it should fit because the hood on the sedan and coupe are the same. i think the only difference between the sedan and coupe headlights are the bottom outer corners.

personally i think those make the headlights ugly but thats just my opinion.

It extends the look of the body... some people commented how they like the Z because of the lack of a grill in the front... Eye lids make the headlight smaller essentially, covering the amber slice in the headlight with your body color... I am upgrading to HIDs and it will also prevent any stray light from rising...

Definitely feel more aggression in the light. Here's a comparison shot of the front and their front.

You are also compairing flat black eye lids on a sedan with what looks like a full chrome grill.

I think if the eyelids were done right with a nice finish to match the gloss of the vehicle, they might look pretty good. Depending on the color of the vehicle. Don't know if white or other light colors would be as noticeable

eh..i dont like the way that looks. personally i think if you were to want to go that route with your headlights you should be looking at the bluebatmobile headlight overlays.
