I really like how the headlight eyelids are lookin, and i want to get one for my tit 8. but was curious on the process since the eyelids does not come painted. How do you go around in makin it that kind of grey? i am also kind of curious on how it will look w/ different color eyelids on different color cars, so if someone is bored can u hook that up? :)

A quick search brought up this thread (http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=16579), which has most info about eyelids in it thus far.
I like the eyelids too.
bulletproofautomotive.com selling them for $110
anyone ordered stuff from them?

There was also a post on how to make them yourself... it was a sticky at some point. Do a search. it's pretty thorough and pretty good steps, directions, pictures, etc.
