Default Eyelids

So... I seem to recall NIA working on eyelids for the tC2 a few months back. Last I heard, they were looking for a test car, but I haven't heard anything since and can't find the thread.

Anyone have any updates?

Also waiting for an update.
It'll be interesting to see what they come up with. The curves don't allow for much in the eyelid department.

Had these for a week already didn't say anything because they are to short I'm talking to the seller now to get another set. This is the video I sent them e-bay eyelids. Maybe you guys will have better luck. If all fails I'll just tape the rest of the light off than remove the cf eyelids and paint that area black.

The eyelids fit perfectly! I'll post a couple pics on here the rest in my build page. They are easy to install and under $20

Looks good. Are there any options for headlight covers? Ones that I could remove when I need to use my headlights? I want them tinted to match my tail-lights, but I'm not willing to paint the actual headlights because I don't want to be ticketed.
