I have the ionic lids which are a little thinner. I used the same thing as Cal. 3M heavy duty and they aren't going anywhere.

I would say down the whole middle but not wide enough so it can be seen on the sides or top..Trim it so it contours the lines but just skinny..That's what I'm thinking would work.. Didn't actually try it yet..

Random question - you mentioned the ionic being a bit thinner... Which would you say is better? Thinner v Thicker...

I was just browsing that thread and I'm def looking to buy a pair!

(Hooray on my first real post on G35Driver.com)

I'm thinking of buying eyelids as well. I don't know how I feel about them on the taillights but would it look uneven only having them on the headlights?
