Eyelids

I am wanting to add eyelids to my car, but I am not sure what color to go with. Color matching isn't an option because my paint is custom, and I'm not paying someone to color match haha. I think my only options are black or white (to match my cuda stripes).

I also am not sure if S style or Shorty style would look better. If someone could photoshop Shorty and S Style in black and white I would really appreciate it.

Custom paint? Looks like standard Atlantic Blue to me...

It has quite a bit more metallic than standard Atlantic Blue. You can't really tell unless you see it in person.

Thanks for the options JeffM! Now I just have to decide what I like best.

I think I will go with the shorties, I'm just not sure if I want to match my white cudas or go with black which won't stand out as much..ideas?

if u need them i say black "S". i know you said u didnt want to but imo i say bite the bullet and pay a place to color match.

I just don't have the money is the problem.

S style are difficult to fit on projector headlights from what I've read. If I do get eyelids I will get fiberglass from carbon by design so I can attempt color match myself, then repaint if it doesn't work like I want. It will be awhile before I have any extra money for the car.

i feel ya on the lack of money point, and i forgot about the projectors. if you have more black on the outside of the car then black shorties could work decently.

Litterally the only black on my car would be mirrors, tires, and grill. That's the only reason I am a little worried about black eyelids.

in that case i guess try to get the "S" to fit, i hear a bit of heat works wonders.
