headlight eyelids

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?

Yes rotaryextreme said they were going to do fiberglass knock-offs of R-Magic eyelids for $75.

If you talk to them please let me know what's going on with that.

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.
