These will probably be 2 stupid questions, but I apologize in advance lol.

1) Is a front strut bar really worth it?
2) I want eyelids on my car, but I have nooo idea how to go about doing it. I know a lot of you guys have them already, and I wanted to know how you did them?

I'm a lil out of my element so all help is appreciated :)

1) Helllllssss yeah! Looks great and it really does help on the turns! and for $40 shipped to your house... why not!? :D
2) Eyelids are simple, yet effective

Figure out how you want it to look in your head

Put it on paper

Cut out said paper and place on headlight

Once design is perfected transfer to cardboard (optional)

Transfer cardboard (paper) template onto chosen material
(i used CF vinyl for mine)

Stick and enjoy
:cool:

I saw those on ebay, but I wanted mine to be thick. Those are barely noticeable lol. Do you have a pic of yours? & What exactly is the purpose of the strut bar?

Lol wassup!!! Glad you got the car back ;)

but yeah i could make you some! I got extra CF vinyl laying around. How do you want it styled?
Send me a pic of yours! I want them to be thick but I don't want them to be overkill. At the same time though I don't want them to be extremely thin.

Oh yeah i remember! Yeah my style would probably cover those up! Maybe something of what leprakong has would be more suited for you.

Also i been playing with the idea of making the eyelids with the VHT spray tint. Put a lot of layers where i dont want light to go through and then a few layers where i need light to shine. I plan on changing up the style of my eyelids

Mine actually came with an adhesive tape already on them. They haven't budged for all the time I've had them. I think I've had them for almost a year now. If you go to walmart, there's an adhesive double sided tape. It kinda' looks like this: LINK

The tape is decently thick. That stuff would probably do the job. That's the stuff I'm gonna try when I redo the eyelids.

I have the DC Sports strut bar and made my own eyelids, both well worth it
