Looks awesome Simon!

The other day I picked up a Rain-X Headlight restoration kit from Supacheap Wollongong. I used it on the sisters Foz which worked a treat. Surprisingly they don't keep it in the detailing products section, it was in the section with all the other rain-X stuff. The other brand I have tried is the Turtle Wax headlight restorer and it looked good for a while but became yellow a few weeks later. And the worst part is that the sealant in the kit was a cloth which could only be used once, whereas in the Rain-X kit there's a liquid sealant a bottle. :)

I can just imagine how eager you'd be to get those eyelids on :P

Eyelids should be classed under the rice category with under car neons...... :P

IMHO, Gen4's dont need them as they already have a sleek headlight design.

Thats whats nice is that everyone has a different opinion/taste.

Otherwise our cars would be carbon copies. :mrgreen:

thats the whole reason we modify cars, for it to stand out from the rest. not to be sheep.

I liked the look both without and with the eyelids, but right now, it looks that little bit more aggressive, which i do like :D

I think it definitely looks more aggressive. Can you take some snaps with the badge removed from the front grille? You know you want to :wink:
