Nice wheels but those eyelids are very much illegal. Hope you don't use your car at night. They cover half the lights beam.

sorry it took me so long to reply... well the eyelids were an experiment of mine trying different shapes and coverage areas to find the balance of looking great and not affecting the headlights performance.

i wont go into detail on measurements and everything (unless you want it) but basically they are simply 4 coats of paint... the first coat needs to be white (for a good reflective surface for the light to bounce off of back into the reflectors) then three coats of your average flat black paint... or whatever color you are going for

thanks for the compliment toy

My 2010 JDM Vitz RS Modellista with

- Volk Racing RE30 By Rays Engineering
Front wheels: 16" x 7" ET 45 with 2010 Yokohama Earth-1 Tyre (205/45 ZR 16)
Rear wheels: 16" x 7" ET 33 with 2010 Yokohama Earth-1 Tyre (205/45 ZR 16)
- Rays Wheel Nuts

I know that some will say "the car needs to be lowered" but I am not sure I want to compromise my usability of carrying 4 people around Bangkok with a lot of pot holes and horrible road surface.

Further modification are posted in my introduction thread listed below

best

Tony
