Cool Latest mod - eyelids!

Here's the latest mod I've done to my Yaris, a set of eyelids! What the heck you might ask are eyelids? They are pre-formed plastic pieces that I bought from a vendor over on YarisWorld. They take away the look and make it more aggressive, at least in my opinion. Then I ordered up some color matched paint and clear coat. The prep and paint work was pretty darn easy and the weather cooperated with temps in the mid 60's. The color match to the existing paint is perfect! I used 3m doublesided molding tape to mount them to the top of the headlights.

Here's some pics:

Eyelids, sandpaper, color matched paint and clear coat. Ultimately during the painting process, I wet sanded with 1,200 and 1,500 grit paper. The 180 grit pictured was used to initially scuff up the surface:
