my new eyelids came in!

aesthetect · 04-07-2009, 02:19 AM

try and get it so that the eyelid matches the curvature of the hood. as in, finishes out the "cut off" corner of the hood by smoothly meeting up with the fender line and front grill line

and photoshop the tape to color match

if any eyelids are ever going to look good, that'd be the way

I like the look, I hope we can get some eyelids soon as the headlights are a bit too bug eyed for me. I think they need to be sharper and come down towards the center of the headlight to give it that snarling mean look.
