Re: Guaging interest and opinions on eyelids

I don't know if it's my style, I would have to see it on another xB to be honest. I've been thinking about tinting my headlights but hesitate because I don't know if I want to sacrifice light. Your eyelids might be a compromise.

Re: Guaging interest and opinions on eyelids

I like it...I think. I need to see the real thing though. I to am thinking of tinting my lights but maybe this would be better.

Re: Guaging interest and opinions on eyelids

The issue is going to be that the stock light bulge out from the body sheet metal.
Lids serve to make the lights blend more into the body. My fear on a Gen 2 xB is that they will look more "bulgy"
Note how they stick out on the sides in this shot:

That would greatly affect the design and shaping of eyelids.
If done badly, it would look like a frog, an alligator, or some massive lizard.

Re: Guaging interest and opinions on eyelids

I don't know why but I laughed so hard reading that..."a massive lizard" :rofl: now that would be a new um but very odd look for the xb

Re: Guaging interest and opinions on eyelids

Tartanjack, you made me spit pop out on my desk :rofl:., and you do make a good point.

They look nice on paper, but we'll have to see them installed.

Re: Guaging interest and opinions on eyelids

thanks for your input..

the lowers are torwing the whole thing off.. we are holding off doing the lowers ..

here are the pics of the nish eyelides that were never made.. there will be similar to these but have more flow into the hood lines.. not just flat..

Re: Guaging interest and opinions on eyelids

Those look much better than I would have expected!

I'd love to see a shot that shows the "off" angle of how it resolves the bulge area.

looks good, sweet ride!

Re: Guaging interest and opinions on eyelids

That looks unbelievable compared to the stock!

 

[eviljack]

Re: Guaging interest and opinions on eyelids

I like the uppers. I think the lowers could have potential but don't like having the curved cutout. I realize its for light flow from the headlight but I never like ones like that. Would rather it be thinner and straight then have the cutout in it.

Re: Guaging interest and opinions on eyelids

The pictures do it a lot more justice! I like.

Re: Guaging interest and opinions on eyelids

I like it. If they come in the car colors, I'll like them more.

 

[scion]

Re: Guaging interest and opinions on eyelids

Uppers only, and make the ends towards the grill curve down slightly lower than the rest of the eyelid to give it a more aggressive look.

No need to make them in any color than black since that is what I need!!! lol

Re: Guaging interest and opinions on eyelids

ill post pics of the actual eyelid when its done.. should be done in a few weeks becuase we are running ona dead line for HIN HAwaii dec 4..

Re: Guaging interest and opinions on eyelids

i have been waiting for someone to get on this.... if been thinking about making some but i dont even have time to finish my living room let alone design things for my car lol

Re: Guaging interest and opinions on eyelids

I will wait to see the final product. I'm not a fan of how this version of the lids exaggerates the gap between the hood and the headlight.

 

[rmcveyster]

Re: Guaging interest and opinions on eyelids

I really like it, it looks sweet I need some in black!

 

[gr8scape]

Re: Guaging interest and opinions on eyelids

I like the idea and I agree with Noise about the gap by the hood. I looked at mine today and you don't really see the gap with the stock setup. In the photo, the gap is more pronounced. I would still use them.
