Default Eyelids for tC

Hey all, I am posting another opinion poll. I am looking at eyelids and wanted to see who was running what. If not one of the the two brands listed, who do you have, do you like them? was color and fit good? etc. Let a man know

BlueBat FTW. Inexpensive, quick and painless install. Mine have been on for about 3 yrs now with ZERO issues.

Only thing I'll warn is that the color may not be absolutely exact. It's vinyl... so you can't really get a BlitzBlueMica specifically in vinyl. You can get something close though. And in most cases it is VERY close. The silver metallic ones I have are almost dead on SSM.

Most people think they're OEM or painted to match.

I'm sure the NIA ones are good and people love them... but that's my experience with BB.

Fiberglass or CF Eyelids FTW!!
Vinyl is too thin IMHO. The fiberglass ones will look more 'natural' on the tC.

Here's a pic of my CF Eyelids...

^^Don't know now. showstoppersusa.com used to sell them for the tC. They are not on their site
anymore. Just buy fiberglass ones and have them color-matched. You'll be happy with the end result.

Its really your choice, you can go with stickers or painted fiberglass eyelids. The NIA eyelids are perfect fit and color match.
