Pic request: Taillight Eyelids
I swear I saw a picture of a white 8 with eyelids on the taillights. My search has been fruitless and I need you help finding this picture. Thanks in advance.
Oh and I'd also appreciate your throughts regarding eyelids on the taillights. I remember them looking really squinty and mean - no more bishop's hat.

yeah, haven't seen eyelids on the tails, ever.
i put a light tint on them, so you can still see the cool detail, but it's not quite so "euro" looking. that might be an option you'd like.

i kid. but really, how does that remind you of this picture at all?
to the OP. never seen eyelids on the tails but i've seen a few tinted dark and even a few tinted red. i like the look of the red tinted ones actually.

I've been thinking about some kind of eyelid for the tails as well, maybe Rotr8 will come up with some for us
I wonder if there is any vinyl out there that would match the Ti-gray paint close enough for a temp setup?

i considered it, but ran into a major problem in that design. I couldn't figure out a clean line for the sides of the tail lights (as if you were looking from the side of the car, not the rear) because of the way the casing curves. Just won't work cleanly IMO.

I really don't like the tinted look of rear lenses unless it's on a black car. What I was thinking was of eyelids kinda like this (sorry for the bad photoshop!):
