Why? Just because others don't like them? Do you ever even see these other people on the road? If you like them, then keep them man...you already invested in it & liked it when you did it. I don't think they look all that bad!

I was kinda iffy on it too... It's a little on the ricey side. Im just trying to look for something nice and clean that is original. Im just going to sand down my headlights then polish and buff them so they look stock again.

I'm going to respond here rather than the other thread - since it turned into a House commenting thread... I think these eyelids would look better (in DG of course):http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y42...t=g35shL2d.jpg

As for the color to PC wheels (if you haven’t done it already) I had my stockers powder coated "hyper black chrome" it almost color matched DG... might be a good choice for your wheels:

Thanks Wally, I dont have any decent pics... the OP PMd me so I sent a link to my plenum that is the same color - you've seen it, that should be a good choice for him I think.

Nice job on the wheels. That looks great on DG.

I do agree with the eyelid removal. I don't care for them that much but it is your car and if you like 'em screw everybody else.

I'm not a fan of eyelids but if you like them you should keep them.

I just took mine off. They're really subtle so i decided to take em off. IMO they don't look right in Grey/Silver. They're a pain in the *** to take off, especially if you ordered the double versions. Good Luck buddy'

for headlights - I like smoked... Tails I like the lids, but I guess it will cover hazard/turn signal

Smoked is a must on both for my car though

I hate it when people let other people dictate what they do to their cars. If you like 'em, keep em!
