Bego's car def look's like the color matchs well, The White def is off but Super White is little harder to match do to sun light weather turning the color a bit. Mine are blending in better now than when i first got them.

^^agree with the SM matching on mine almost perfectly!! the lights in that install bay where I work messes with pics really bad because they are really yellow... obviously. but in person the color match is amazing. and yes my car is extremely dirty especially because like two days after those pics and yesterday it rained all day and the wind has been blowing hard and kicking up dirt..
I will take some new pics of the whole car and the eyelids once the weather clears up in a few day and once it gets washed WELL!!

paint does not match dudes
same light is on your car thats on those lids, and its not the same shade.
not just dirty either, MAYBE (your cars what...6mo old?)sun damage, but not dirt.
please wash 'em up and take new pics and prove me wrong, otherwise call your boys back at NIA or whatever and get 'em to check their paint codes.

I know mine dont match i stated that after i did a comeplete detail for a car show. The paint code he used is the Super White 040 on mine. Mine is only off by a little bit witch is not bad but the point is its still off. Bego's car look's the best as fair for the matching of the paint.

vonstar like I said in my post, pics dont do justice for the color match. they look color matched almost perfect in person. I dont know why those pics look so sh*tty, but in person the color match is a completely different story. I will still take some shots when I clean in and when its sunny outside and we will see the color comparison..

No pics yet....I do have them and they are installed.
I just put my rims with new tires on the other day and waiting a couple days so I can give the box a good wash/wax. I am prob gonna do a mini shoot so I will throw up some pics then.
There are a few other small mods I did recently that I'd like to show off as well
Hopefully pics will be up this weekend...
Eyelids look dope though I really like em. Paint is not exact. My car is over a year old and the paint has def faded. Its pretty damn close though and you cannot tell unless you really examine them.

As promised here are a few pics. I did not take any close up ones but maybe when it gets nicer out I can.
Overall I am really happy with them. Paint was not 100% spot on but you need to really look close to be able to tell. Fitment was nice, but I would have liked to eyelids to tuck under the hood a bit more. You can kind of see the top of the headlight. Honestly though this set is probably temporary. I have a feeling in the months to come a much more aggressive set will come along that I will like better. And I just can't justify 150 bucks on eyelids no matter how nice they are.

Have mine on, and I hate to say it, but the only part of the product I was really impressed with was the price. I wouldn't recommend these to anyone looking for eyelids that wants something with an OEM fitment or appearance out of the box. Paint was nearly spot on, but did have some VERY minor imperfections...Mine actually had dirt embedded in the clear. Something I noticed in the first set of pictures - before I purchased a set - shown is that while the driver side eyelid looks near perfect, the passenger side always has some sort of extreme arch in it. I hoped that this was only the case with first set, as sometimes people/shops get impatient and in a hurry to get pictures up, will rush things along...found out the hard way that's not how things worked out. Long story short, I spent about 6 hours perfecting this product, most of which was sanding down edges so that both eyelids were identical, and so the gap thickness between the eyelids and body panels stayed consistent. The last twenty minutes was spent cutting and buffing the paint. All this time was spent after I had already waited three weeks for their arrival. They look perfect now, and I'll post pics when I can. If you guys want a quick fix for the visible part at the top of the headlight, I just covered it with black vinyl. It's really not that thick, so I'm sure some thick electrical tape would also do the trick.
