evest Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Went for the eyelids, good fit and practically welded on with 3M acrylic tape. Not sure whether to keep them tbh, so will leave them for a while and see how I feel. I like the shape they give, but these are fibreglass covered with CF vinyl wrap and to be honest I think the effect looks cheap (which it was) - if I do keep them I will either get proper CF ones or else paint the FG ones to match body: Next job will be the front lip - again colour scheme will be either body matched in full or I may keep the centre section black... actually quite tempted to get the eyelids, nostril and lip all done in matching body-colour paint.

GMballistic Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I'm not a fan of these eyelids and tbh I think they'll look better on your car if they're painted the same colour as the body. If you like them though that's all that matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexwitham Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I like that bumper intake snorkel. Did you fit it? Thoughts on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Please bin those awful eyelids, they completely ruin what is otherwise a great and tasteful looking car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexwitham Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Agreed, the eyelids look gash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evest Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 I like that bumper intake snorkel. Did you fit it? Thoughts on it? yeah I put the nostril in a while ago. Was a bit scary taking to the bumper with a stanley knife, but it turned out well. The theory is that it will funnel more cold air into the intake, I installed a tube inside to help with this, particularly as my short ram doesn't have a heat shield - but I doubt there is much proper data to back-up any claims of power gains. ref the eyelids - I'm going to stick with them for a bit but I do agree they will look better if matched to the body colour along with the lip that I have to go on there as well.

veilside z Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Eyelids are fine but colour match for a better effect. The lip either looks better colour matched or black gloss effect I feel. Just my opinion. Looking nice anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just found this thread from a search of the forum for nostrils. I'm just wondering if the tube between the nostril and the airbox intake is required? I'm thinking of fitting a nostril, mostly because I think it looks good, doubt there would be any real power gains? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisyduke Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I just fitted a vent. Was for the looks but I think also there is a little more induction noise which I like. Leave the eye lids carbon. And get a bonnet to match. Sorry I just wanted to have a different opinion.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evest Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 Still got the nostril but I don't know if there is much, if any power gain, but I guess it can't hurt to get cold air in the airbox (which I refitted for performance over bling...) Eyelids..... went colour match after a while, much better look (I actually hate that top picture now!!) I've now got rid completely though as didn't like the idea of blocking part of the headlamp.
