i finished washing my baby and i was thinking to myself "man! how come all my friends with the civics and jettas have sick ass eyelids on their car, it makes them look way uber faster than stock." soo i decided to take matters into my own hands...i wiped out the matterials and made my own. it's soo stupid it doesn't even need a how to. but here it is anyways.

soo like here are the things you need. some cardboard, or whatever. a cissor uhh some paint and some tape.

1. soo like wat you do is you stick the thing in there and you measure it and watnot.

2. now you cut it out to the desired size and shiz.

3. then you like trace it and make a copy.

4. at this point you can paint it, or use markers or crayola's or watever...be creative...make rainbows and such.

5. now uhhh you know stick some tape on there and tape it. make sure you cover the sides and things. if it's as big as mine, you can run highbeams, it wont shoot into the driver's car in front of you. and it looks better at night...don't forget to close the headlights during the day time. http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid156/p0b5e5b7d57a3263975a995b352a66ee8/f53c3232.jpg

actually theres a probe around here who has vinyl on his popups, had two holes for the light to give it the "projector" look. His lights must suck at nite.

the cardboard is killer man, this guy on ebay cut me a really good deal, hes gonna ship it to me for like 40 bucks, with extra packing foam so it doesnt scuff up or ne thing

I made my own eyelids for my prelude since the jdm eyelids are extremely rare.

Now those air vents next to the headlights are the jdm ones I just painted, they were black. I'm painting the eyelids to match the car color. I just have to put a few coats of clear on them.

Vent's look kinda wierd, not the same color as the car. Is the car just dirty?

Mike's89AccordLX

Yes the car is dirty :) It's winter here and clean cars get that haze on them fast. My headlights are really clear too but they look like crap in the pics b/c of that film on the car. Now I just need to find a place to put the clear coat on. I knew I should have just put a couple of quick coats on at work...

yah it's not on my car, i only did this to have sum fun take some pics. but like i said before, if i had some good plastic pieces that bens on the corners, i would really consider making something similar but smaller.

mike that looks pretty wicked on your lude, if youi get the lights and things cleaned up, damn that would be hawt.
