The grille and eyelids look very clean. There appears to be good final fitment on the grille after your adjustment.

ya i emailed/PM's silvia about that black bar. I looked at the original thread a while back when the grille first came out didnt notice it. But I noticed mine has it...I wrote to see if the bar was required for the structure of the grille...if NOT i can remove it....but i'll let you guys know!

yes they provided with the eyelids 2 long strips of double sided tape...just try to align them right b/c the more you remove/apply, the less sticky they CAN become. I had to realign mine like 5x, b/c i know someone here would say 'u got a gap on da eyelids foo'! but even w/ all the effort, you still have to make sure to press down firmly on them so they stick, especially the end pieces. the middle portion sticks pretty well and is pretty flush, the end pieces have to be pressed more firmly, just dont PUSH TOO HARD!!

I really believe the reason for the gap on the original Silviaparts grill was because that middle brace was eliminated. There was justing nothing there to provide structural support. I made my own to eliminate the gap and will post some pics up in a couple days.

woo-hoo! pics!

everything looks great - better than I imagined actually... I guess when they get them back in stock in a month or so I'll have to order a set... I was just worried BS wouldn't be the right color for the eyelids, but you proved me wrong... congrats on the new look!
