Nope, no marks left. Just took a bit of time getting them off. I heated them up with a hair dryer then slowly peeled them off. After they were off I gave the headlight lens a good cleaning to get any remaining adhesive off.

I always wondered, if there was a way to blend in an eyelid to the side fender, so they become part of and flush with the side fender.

I love my eyelids, but in all honesty, all the vendors that make em for our car don't do a good job. I couldn't stand the huge bug eye we rock. It's all personal preference!

These are older picz, but you get the idea. The first painted lids are Accolade fiberglass, and the second pic is the CF Carbon by Design.

So how would you put the eye lids on? With some sort of glue? Just realize what you will have to clean off if you ever take them off unless they fall off. I been there with window visors on a few vehicles I used to own.

ok first thing is i am not a fan of eyelids

2nd thing is I ABSOULTELY hate our front headlights. I hate the whole thing about how our headlight's on our RA's are rounded.

I want to so badly put headlights on that are just STRAIGHT ACROSS.

is this possible to do? can i still do this fitting why my hood installed?

sure u can- but your gonna have to replace everything from front bumper, to fenders, hood, headlights...u get the idea. if it were easier to do, i'd jump on it asap. but i dont think so.

no headlights besides the ralliart's rounded shape ones or projectors will fit our ralliart. if u want straight shaped headlights (last time i checked the evo ones are straight across), you have to, like i mentioned earlier, change everything. and that ms.slvrRalliartcf will cost a lot of money. but who's to say u cant afford it.
