You guys were mean-ugly eyelid haters earlier this evening ... I know eyelids are everyone's taste...and no, they don't add the 1st HP to our 4-banger, but...
Eyelids give the "face" of our S2000 an "I'm gonna have your car for dinner!" look when you're quickly filling up a driver's rear view mirror .
Now, a good point was made regarding quality & fitment . Definitely, an ill-fitting set can just look like trash. And me, personally, I don't care too much for the "color-matched" vinyl apps . My biggest issue with them is that they don't nail the color match...and worse, I wonder how UV rays will affect (i.e. blanch) out the color of the vinyl in time. Pointy made mention of tims2k and I would 2nd that suggestion. But...if Tim's offering, you would want to consider the ABS eyelids...not fiberglass. I first purchased the 'glass ones and they were laid to set up on a flat table. That gets you a flat piece of fiberglass -- and that doesn't like to hold a curve very nicely . The ABS on the other hand...not only good fitment, the quality itself has proven very good too. Plus Tim's source did a nice job matching color as well.
Anyway, I love my 'lids . So don't you go listenin' to the eyelid haters.
Just got out from under the car... seems the heat shield just above the cat is tight. Next time i get the car up in the air i'll get a closer look though.

I'd have to agree with him though.. "IF" you really want eyelids, definitely look towards Tims
