Sensless- I vote for painting them, if ya got the ***** to do it. If not, MMstar does it 'on the side'. I can't vouch for his work personally, cause I havent seen any, lol. But he does do it, fyi

Wade- The way it goes is you put'em in the oven for a few minutes (20?) so the glue will heat up, them you PRY them apart. But Ive heard too many bad stories/experiences, plus Im too chickensh!t anyways.

They're fiberglass and come in a gel-coat finish ready for prep/paint. You can get them on ebay.

Which is exactly why i said he can do what other guys with 02-05 have done. I was providing him a picture of an eyelid angle he might like. You bringing up the fact 06s have amber strips has nothing to do with my comment. The eyelids are the same 06-08.
