Made some custom eyelids out of spare vinyl I had. Not sure how I feel about them, thoughts?

Yeah, never really liked the eyelids out there because of how thick they were but the vinyl looks good and blends in more to look like an extension of the hood.
I need to find some kind of adhesive remover to use for removing my eyelids. The headlights have some kind of protective cover like a clear bra over them and I'm worried that removing the adhesive on the eyelids will also damage that cover.
Looks like a headlight protector or part of the clear bra kit was applied directly to the headlight
Glued all the way around
Eyelids are held in place with strips of adhesive but not full coverage, you can slide something under the ends of it
Doesn't 100% match the hood which has a clear bra, slightly more reflective.

Agreed. If anyone is interested, now that I have templates, I can make them in any available vinyl color including carbon fiber or chromes.
Agreed. Gonna get them repaired and coated and we will see the end result. They are def not ideal, but for $100 bucks I figured what the hell. The tires alone on these are worth three times that.

What you really need to do is to get some paint correction done. It'll remove all those fine scratches/swirls and really bring a sheen to your paint.
Also try Goo Be Gone of Goof Off to get the lids off, they both work great.
The whole front end is covered in a clear bra and that's what you're looking at. Still researching what to use to get the swirls off that polymer material without damaging it, paint is fine.
