Yea man just stick em on with tape. I don't want them permanent, I want to just put them on occasionally.

The 03/04 and 05/06 headlights are the same exterior shape right? So we would only need one mold?

4dr, How many people we need and what kind of price?

It would be probably cheaper the coupe ones. Lets get as many as possible. It will take a couple weeks to make. Ill have to double check to see if the 03-04 are the same as 05-06

From my understanding the headlights are different between the 03/04 and the 05/06. The hood, grille, and front bumpers are not interchangeable (as single items). Please note the sedan FAQ that Tim wrote up - here's post #10:

I know they don't fit the car, the mounting holes are completely different, but I highly doubt they changed the shape on the lense.

A while back there was a thread that showed side by side comparison pics between the 03/04 and the 05/06 and the lights are slightly different in shape. I'm just not sure if the shape is so different where the lids would be installed - although since the hood is different and the front bumper is different between those model years there might be just enough of a shape difference that the eye lids may not match up perfectly.

Perhaps someone remembers that other thread (I couldn't find it with a brief search) - it may have been focused on a discussion about the grille or the hood - can't quite remember.

Here's another discussion about the headlights:

Hope this project works out for you guys though! It would look great on the sedans.
