Yeah I want to get black lids on my yellow bug I think it would look alright anyone else have an opinion? Its that sport yellow color I dont know what it is called but the rest of my bug is in blacka nd yellow too so it should be sick right? Also what about doing yellow lids with black headlight cover films? Anyone ever thought about that? or yellow beetle black lid black film? I dunno im at a loss.

that would look cool... but colour matching is always hotter imo.

either way... good luck with it!

Manda's right, color coordinated is hotter, black looks like you bought generic lids.

I'd say to each their own. to me they give the appearance of the car being drugged out. I like the vinyl ones because they look mean.

The eyelids listed on ebay I did not like. the ones here... the topic of this thread I do like.

the ones on ebay made the car look sad, droopy, stoned, etc. the ones on the link above make the car look angry.

are you saying pin striping on the side of the car, or a racing stripe down the middle of the car? (think herbie).

I actually already have the stripes to do herbie on my car if i want, just dont know if i'm ready to comit to that yet. White car... red and blue stripes.

black stripes right? those sound pretty cool. try photoshoping it if you can, if you cant, i can give it a try, but i'm not photo shop guru.
