hey guys... i just got my car out of the shop today and im soo excited i just wanted to share and wanted some of your opinions. i had the shop spray the roof, grille and rear bumper lower (diffuser) area gloss black, i also made my self a set of eyelids for free using a nose for a streetbike.. the shaping could be a little better i guess but its good for now! simple but nice.. (be gentle lol )

i like all the painted work. great color scheme goin on. not diggin the headlights though. i feel it ruins the unique eyedrop look our stocks have and kind of cheapens it. but the color scheme is sick!

Word on the wheels. I wasn't knocking your taste or anything man, so I hope you didn't take it the wrong way. I just couldn't tell the design of the wheels in the angles of the pictures at all.

If you do intend on removing the eyelids in the future, I would suggest taking a razor blade or something and cutting the adhesive first... then take a heat gun to the headlight lens and use that to melt away the tape's adhesive. Polish it up and then your headlights will be unharmed!

NO NO..i didin't take it in a wrong way lol.. its all good.. maybe ond day i can afford an upgrade but in all honesty its not that serious to me.. im not a racer i barely drive the car.. i know alot of pple here take their wheels really serious .. but sh*t i got bills to pay hahah..
hopefully i can get my hands on some 06 projectors.. thats my ultimate goal with the headlights..

It all looks very nice. I'm on the fence regarding the the eyelids, but they do look well done.

thanks.. yea man i know i read alot about that with people using the tc for reference.. i just think it gives a nice clean look with the sunroof.. and plus benzes are doing it too! i just think it looks nice with 2 doors.. and with the IP it will look sick especially if your all tinted out.. besides the LR.. the IP is my second fav color .. i say go for it
