Vinyl Eyelids... SGM 135i
Just picked up my car last week and did a few mods over the weekend...
-Hardwired V1 <--- PITA but thanks for the writeups -Golf Tee Mod -Tinted Windows 3M 35% and saw a thread here for eyelids and thought to myself "why not?" here are some pics for fun.. i got some vinyl that was very close to matching the SGM but alas it was a bit dark.. decided to go with black since there are many black highlights in the car. Let me know what you guys think.. |

Best rendition of the eyelids I've seen done. IMO.

I actually took some transparent film and traced the look I wanted by hand, cut out the vinyl and applied it myself. Didn't realize that I was ripping off someone else's design sorry if i offended anyone...
I wish the corners were clear on the lights. I think they lids would look much nicer with the Euro Spec lights.... anyone outside of the US want to trade with me? |

I like the eyelids but please...SGM is Sparkling Graphite Metallic. SG is Space Gray.
Sorry about that OT but I expected to see SGM. Anyway back to topic. Very nice design but can you take some pics from 10ish feet away straight onto the front fascia. I want to see how those fit the look of the front of the car. |

I'm not a fan of eyelids...However....these are the best I've seen.
Well done

Not bad. I was thinking it might look good in that opaque silverish color BMW uses on the new 2009 3series sedan?
btw your camera is horrid.
