hey thanks man. it does okay for what's on it.

oh, and to your question

Vinyl - Sticker type base product, which is very thin. Installs very easily and at a low cost. This product is installed with adhesive on the back of the eyelids.

Polyurethane - Glossy polyurethane plastic. Works like a sticker but is thicker and more durable. It looks more like a 3D shape then flat shape. This product is installed with adhesive on the back of the eyelids.

I always have preferred eyelids that match the color of the car because it changes the actual shape of the eyelid from far away, it changes the way it looks. Eyelids that are not the color of the car dont change the shape, they just add Black or w.e. color to it and it looks the same.

For example I have a friend who has a GG 8 and a friend who has a YL 8. The GG 8 has CF eyelids while the YL 8 has black eyelids, the headlights look normal from far away because you cant see the changed shape of the headlight, its confusing to explain but the same color eyelids IMHO look way better because it accomplishes what its supposed to, give the headlights a more aggressive look where eyelids that do not match dont...
