eyelids

so i've been looking around, and I've seen kouki-like eyelids for a zenki. any opinions on this? im not quite sure how i feel. its alot cheaper than a conversion (a given) and it looks decent, but ive never really liked eye lids, and it would maybe suck to still have the zenki corner lights.

thoughts tho please?

also, ive been looking around and can't seem to find any, but has anyone seen any s15-like eyelids for the zenki?

looking forward to the replies.

I believe he means the OP needs to keep rockin his zenki lights and he shouldnt change the style. But when or if he does put the eyelids on it will be a "sad day" but thats just his perspective on this situation.

Clean and polish the zenki lights. That will make them look a butt load better.

After that, invest in German glass housings.

Don't waste your money on anything else.

Meguiars PlastX worked for me.


Mother's polish should work well also. They have the drill polish thing as well which I would imagine helps cut down physical labor.


After that, wipe down with rain-x.

Ya that was one of the things I dnt like abt my headlights. I've tried cleaning them with a couple things and they still have a yellow tint. They've been growing on me too. So I guess keepin them like this is best. I just dnt like the hood style and its hard to find good looking front bumpers for zenkis because most are for koukis. I'm thinking I'll go with the c-speed duraflex ones tho that boxfresh has over at the 240sxforums. Thx for feedback

Why not do the hood propped forward thing..forgot what it's called lol..
I used to see that alot in japan, gives an agressive look.by bpartially covering the upper portion of the headlights..

we all know Zenki headlights are hard to look good in stock body, so nothing wrong with eyelids.

On my old S14 I had the German headlights with carbon fiber eyelids. I forget the name of the company who made them, but I'm pretty sure they're out of business now. Unfortunately, I got nailed by a drunk driver before my buddy could get the chance to try to reproduce them.

They had the ones that gave the 'Kouki' look but the ones I ordered wrapped around the whole light, including the corner light. I thought it was an alright look.

headlight eyelids are about the most idiotic thing in the world. they're the hatchback louvres of our generation.
