Need a quick opinion...
Mkk guys soo this was the other lil "mod" I was talking about in one of my other threads that I was planning on getting together...eyelids. I saw that punk life on MCF had made some for his car & I really liked it so I thought why not make them for mine. Well when I decided to do the lugnuts I thought hey, why not try to do the eyelids now instead of waiting til later so I went to Hobby Lobby & got some bigger sheets of black vinyl & since I'm sick of doing nothing all day, since I'm not suppose to drive or really do anything on these meds, I decided that I'd try to make them while I was watching Invictus about 10 min ago lol so I put them on in the garage really quickly, since I'm not suppose to be out in the heat either & eyed them up...they look good in the garage. Sooo I backed-up into the drive way & looked at them...I still like the idea but I'm thinking that maybe the vinyl isn't a deep enough black to look good on the car =( but maybe it'* just the angle of it in my driveway since the front of the car is higher then what it usually is & all orrr it could be the drugs making me think it looks bad lol who knows
Soo here is what I need to know, my rents are gonna let me go to a hugee car meet tomorrow since it'* at night & it won't be as hot & all, so I need to know if I should keep them on the car orrrr take them off for now & look for a darker black vinyl to use as the eyelids orrr should I just take them off in general for now orrr should I make them bigger/lower. I need opinions, suggestions, comments, etc ASAP
Here are some pics that I snapped really quick...

Woahh totally different opinions on here then the monte forum lol the guys over there like it but they think it'll look better if I can find gloss black vinyl someplace to use instead of this matte black stuff I found. I found gloss black sheets for my lugnuts but they were not long enough to use for the headlights
&& I think one reason why you guys think it looks weird is bcuz it doesn't go all the way across my headlights & my headlights are shaped weird. Also I didn't want to put them much lower bcuz I didn't want them messing with the lights since I don't have any special aftermarket bulbs or anything

They look OK, to a point. If you had glossy and it matched the paint it would look better. To look good, IMO it needs to look like it belongs there, not added later on as a after thought.

What he said. They don't look like they belong there. The concept is nice, but the awkward shape of your headlights doesn't help.
