xblack240x · 05-03-2007, 12:14 AM

Good leave it stock, save up and buy that next REAL upgrade you were planning on... Good decision

ranger240 · 05-03-2007, 12:58 AM

painted eyelids on a black car looks alright sometimes.... that huge awful hood extension thing that looks like a hood spoiler.. no way... if your upgrading a zenki.. go german glass headlights and leave them as is.. kouki's dont need any mods really (maybe painting the insides black a little or something though

2iv0 sx · 05-03-2007, 01:13 AM

No.

Use black tape.

!Zar! · 05-03-2007, 02:38 AM

Eyelids are stupid.

aznpoopy · 05-03-2007, 09:01 AM

rock your friendly looking zenki proudly.

thats what i want to hear. i wish zenki owners would stop trying to make their zenkis look like koukis. but if u must, just take black tape like someone already said and make them for free. if you dont like em, take em off.

redpotatoes · 05-03-2007, 08:04 PM

I do have a pair of eyelid that I had on the car a year ago. I removed them because the paint was not matching perfectly. Now that the car has been repainted, I might try them back on but I am pretty sure I won't leave them on. I like the zenki look over the kouki but it's all a matter of personal taste.

DSDperformance · 05-03-2007, 09:17 AM

I agree. Eyelids are not cool, the car looks way better without them.

projectRDM · 05-03-2007, 10:07 AM

Although I agree as well, several years ago I welded a set on to an extra hood just to see what it looked like. As a molded in piece it looks a LOT better than separate pieces, whether painted or stuck on. Sadly that hood passed away when it opened at 90MPH.

No, but if you want some, I have em

BobbyDigi · 05-03-2007, 02:02 PM

to me, eyelids ruin the aesthetic line and look cheap. but to each their own

RoyalFlush · 05-03-2007, 02:08 PM

i agree with you guys for the most part, but i dont think they looked that bad on marks old car.

That's mostly in part to the fact that the rest of the car was executed very well.

Anything can look good, as long as the overall execution is on point.

But if you just put eyelids on a stock zenki, it will probably look assy.

BobbyDigi · 05-03-2007, 02:10 PM

i disagree, i think it looks chinsy.

theres a change in the hood line, and the gap between the hood and eyeline looks like doodoo

*kognition* · 05-03-2007, 04:42 PM

def look like doodooo. It's called trying too hard.

axiomatik · 05-03-2007, 02:17 PM

^^^^
makes his car look stoned.

waste of money

M4Rl0N · 05-03-2007, 02:28 PM

i dont like them....
i just rather have a kouki

SimpleSexy180 · 05-03-2007, 04:33 PM

Ian · 05-03-2007, 05:10 PM

kognition needs to make Zenki headlight dummies out of FRP for me...

eyelids are doodie from 2004

*kognition* · 05-03-2007, 06:26 PM

We don't have any Zenki light lying around. They would have to be glass to handle the vacuum infusion process.
