I'm sorry. I can't get into the painted lids. I know that the shape of the current eyes are not as good as they could be, but paintingthem to me looks silly. They just don't look like they are supposed to be there to me. I'm of the opinion that if you do something to a car it should look like it came that way from the factory...otherwiseits just a lame attempt. They look like a bandaid....not a realclassy fix. Just my opinion.

If you must do it though...go with the GTR style overlays. They are tolerable. http://forums.altimas.org/zerothread/351663

The whole point of an eyelid (which is different from an overlay) is to "visually" extend the edges of the hood. So of course in order to do that effectively they should be painted to match the hood.
