CF Eyelids...

Hey guys, I saw some of these on a car here in miami and was actually fairly impressed with how nice/aggressive they made the car look. I'm usually VERY skeptical about eyelids as they are usually cheap and make the car look like crap, but that wasn't the case this time (i like the fact that they are contoured like the lights and not just a straight bar eyelid like some). Here's a link to some CF ones I thought looked good but wanted to get some opinions before doing anything crazy...

Eyelids look so bad, but the straight ones make the car look hi.

I don't think eyelids are needed on these cars. For the E46, it worked because the headlights were larger and looked bug eyed. With the E92, the headlights are aggressive enough from the factory so I don't see a need for them.
