new boot and need opinion on eyelids

Same colour as your car.

BTW, do the eyelids have any function, or are they just to change the appearance a bit?

The eyelids are 100% designed for looks alone. They won't cover the blinkers or headlamp light output in any way.

As to the OP's question, I say paint it to match your car, unless you choose to paint the hood at some point. Check out Treyz' ride in the official eyelids thread (link in my sig) to see what I'm talking about.

P.S. Do not install the eyelids without some kind of clearcoat! The material they are covered in now is just primer, and will not stand up to wear and tear.
