My eyelids from Jethro

I got my eyelids last week from Jethro and had a couple people ask for me to post pics so here they are. (They're not actually on yet, just laid on top). I know my car is dirty. I also added a couple other pics that I took while I was at it. The last pic is of Jethro's and my rx8 from our cruise last weekend.

They look pretty sweet! The second pic kinda makes it look like the color does not match very well though. Idk if that was lighting or what, because I don't see it in the others, just that one picture.

Thanks. It depends on the angle, sometimes it matches perfect and other times it seems just a tad off.

The paint matches perfectly.

The color seems different depending on the angle of sun and viewer, with respect to the surface.

If you notice, there are several different shades visible on the car itself, because different parts of the car are at different angles with respect to the sun.

Look at this photo of Roidz car. Where the sun angle is the same on the car as the eyelid, or highlighting the surface in a similar manner, the color is perfectly identical. In this view, the nose of the car doesn't even match the hood- though it is in fact the exact same color as the rest of the car.

Understand now, guys?

It's a metallic paint quality. That's what makes metal flake do magic to colors in sunlight.
