good job installing them. great paint match too

 

Do they block light from coming through or does light escape through their cracks, etc?

 

Ya I like these a lot.

But for those of you guys (including myself) who didn't like that strip of the eyelids coming down along the inside of the headlight, try these eyelids (also of eBay from the same seller for the same price). They are larger eyelids and imo are quite a bit more aggressive.

I attached pics of what they look like installed (for those who haven't seen these pics from a different thread).

Peace.

 

Not at all...all light shines through just as much...unless of course you tint your headlights.....

 

Hmmm I quite like the more aggressive look. Thanks for answring the question but I actually meant it the other way. In other words, at night do you notice any light escape through he eye lids themselves? I hope the answer is no. thx

 

Indeed the answer is no. Light can't get through these things...

 

I love the more aggressive eyelids with your front end.

I have a MS front end which is more rounded than yours, so I wonder if he more angular look of the aggressive eyelids would look as good with the MS front end as the less aggressive version which is a little more rounded???

Any photos you can point me too?

 

oooo, well i'm not really sure of any pics with the ms kit on it, but here's a guy on here with my same eyelids but without any kit on the front.

imo the original front bumper has similar CURVES to the ms front bumper...obviously i like the ms one a lot more, but I guess since we're comparing aggressive vs. rounded, THESE couple pics might point you in the right direction.

Other than these pics, I'm not sure I can help you find any other pics that might help you. I guess just try searching rx8 eyelids on google and see if you can find any pics with them installed with the ms body kit.

peace.

 

^ thanks. I prefer the more aggressive look. Looks cleaner and well... more aggressive See pic for comparison...

 

I personally still prefer the ones that I bought. You guys are right though, with different body kits, the more aggressive look will look just as great.

They are of thin fiberglass and NO light shines through them.

Thanks for all the comments guys. Call me Psychic, but I see an increase in eyelid sales for the future

 

actually like those ones quite a bit!

 

The top headlights make the car look lazy, or tired...the other eyelids make the car look pissed off.

I really think it depends on the type of lip kit or body kit you have the car. If you are going for a clean look, the really aggressive eyes might not go too well?

Eh...I wonder which eyelids would go the best with my shineauto (burnout repl) kit coming in?

 

Interesting observation, I see what you mean.

Personally, I think the more aggressive one gives a cleaner look.

 

Yeah, thx for thread, I'm going to get a set...

 

I miss when my Silver didn't have chips on the bumper. SIGH...

 

The larger ones are a little cheesy. The nice thing about the OPs is they look OEM. People can't tell when its body matched. Lines flow well and gives the car a different look. The second pair are just like, wtf wow... a fatty triangle on my lens, big ol diagonal line, not much character. But they are far more obvious.

I'll agree that the second ones are much more aggressive. But the term "cleaner" is being misused.

 

anyone know where I can find the aggressive eyelids now?
