I recently got my hands on a pair of carbon fiber eyelids for my Zenki from SilviaParts.com at a decent price. I personally really like the way it looks, making the Zenki headlights look a bit flatter. What do you guys think?

The only other exterior work I have done is the JDM Silvia grill with the Silvia emblem (purposely) removed. There are no further exterior mods planned for my car.

Here are the before and after pictures:

not bad at all, makes those headlights look better, would be perfect with a carbon fiber hood

I would love to have a carbon fiber hood. But I have more important things in mind. Like a new set of tires and an aluminum one-piece driveshaft.

Thanks for the feedback. I see your point. I don't think I would put these on if the color of my car was any lighter. The carbon fiber actually looks pretty good with my paint in person.

I got to agree a carbon fiber hood would help them flow alot better but they still look good anyways

IMO I like the S15 headlights or the S14 koukis. But if that cant be worked out the JDM silvia grill works. Its your car though and I hope our opinions just help.

I prefer them to be painted to match the color that's on the car. I like the ones that only go on the headlight and not the corner light. They make the zenki look like the kouki. I also agree with the consensus, a carbon fiber hood would make it flow alot better.

it does look like your car is sleepy. but you can make it more agressive looking if you cut the corners to slant a bit.

I think the eyelids would look better painted. But I like the Zenki Silvia grille it looks classier than the stock 240 grille.

Not a big fan of eyelids but I like the grille, I personally want the JDM one with the mesh in the center.

I just bought one of those to replace my silvia grill, I think the one with the mesh is cleaner looking...

Anyone want to purchase a silvia grill in red?

i like the eyelids man... i think im going to pick some up... anyways i'm quite partial to the zenki front end... kouki is too small and elongated looking to me and the s15 cost too damn much 1st to buy the conversion and then have to mix and match body panels and kits to upgrade... thats just me though... the zenki looks very clean to me... like the grill too man...
