Default C-West Eyelids

i got the C-West Eyelids from Bulletproof Automotive. Anybody know how to install them?? Also, how can I get it painted? Can I do it with the spray things they sell at Discount Auto Parts? Or do I have to get it painted at a body shop?

dont be gangster and take it to an autobody shop to paint so they can color match it to your body.

I had my eyelids held on with 3M tape and one flew off on the freeway about 2-3 months later!!!
I would use a LOT of that tape. I would also apply some super glue to the EYELID side of the tape. The tape seemed to stick fine to the light, but not the eyelids as well. This will also be a non issue if you ever uninstall (although the eyelids would be harder to clean up for resell).
And yes, definitely have them painted at a body shop. Probably $40-50.

You have to clean very well,both parts,before applying 3M tape.
A little isopropylalcohol will help.!
