Perfect mod for my flat black hood, what ga should be used? 16? 18? Should it be formed or will a straight piece work?

I don't know the guage, but you're going to want to form them before welding them on.

I'm glad Marc hooked you up. I want to do it, too, when I make a fiberglass hood.
You've already got the CF eyelids, Mooneggs....

The difference is that it will make my car look sleepy or lazy vs. ANGRY :roll: mine will look more like eyelids vs. eyebrows

it's all about the lines... if you choose rounded it's going to look less aggressive that straight lines...

I know they have eyelids available. Why doesn't someone just make some angry eyelids? Wouldn't it look about the same on the pg 1 pic?

Neg, eyelids won't look as clean, and are better for the sleepy eye look IMO. I guess someone could try it to see how it would come out, but I think modifying the hood itself is the best way!

I had eyelids on my first mx3 and they didn't look like the extended hood. As moonegs said, its all about the lines, even just modding it abit will make a difference.

Maybe I like it just a little more angry but this is a pic of how far I want to go.

I would actually like that particular hood mod, if they reshaped the fender to not have that corner where it meets the hood.
