Well there's a few options out there but they are all installed primarily the same way: 3M double side tape applied to the headlight. Very simple, and it gets the job done. There's a few manufacturers out there offering eyelids and for the most part they look similiar:

SilviaParts
BlueBatMobie (Vinyl overlay)
Unlimited Tuning (offers CF version)
INGS+1 (much more expensive)

and finally, another expensive but probably the best looking in my opinion:

KDV Burnout

Shop around, do some research and go with whatever fits your tastes/budget. Here's a few pics with of course all the credit going to the owners themselves. The first is SilviaParts/Unlimited Tuning/Ings would look similiar to and the second is KDV.

Here are some pics of the UT CF eyelids painted black. I put them against my car and the black matches pretty close. All they need is a light polishing to buff out some minor scratches and new 3M tape and they are good to go!

We can pre-paint the eyelids for you if you get them from us.

Umm yeah, these were done professionally by a great body shop, not given the krylon touch! Thanks!

I would personally go with the real lids.
I'm not a big fan of stickers.

Yeah go with the real lids, the UT one's are really well made, I've seen them on Diesel's car and they look awesome.
