I've got the NIA eyelids...and they look much better than it seems in that link you have...i think the person there just didn't put them on in the right spot, so it wasn't lined up and just looked funny. but i highly suggest them, mine were a perfect color match, and look great.

heres some pics to prove it

Personally I just agree with the painted fiberglass eyelids as opposed to vinyl.

same color as my car! match looks awesome! vinyl is a big no no for me. it might look ok from a distance but up close the fact you can tell its a sticker makes it kinda cheezy imo. i think im just gonna get NIA's. cant been the price. well, you can but..

do you mean like, at a body shop or somethin? you could have a local b.s order them and paint them but it'll cost more that ordering them yourself.
