Default eyelids

There are different kinds.....vinyl, carbon fiber, and fiberglass....

s style....and other styles...

my question is which ones are the good ones??? I heard vinyl is hard to get on without bubbles under it and one of them has bad color fading?

Well I have the vinyls and I like 'em. However my car is black and black vinyl matches very well. (looks just like the paint) I have had no fading by I do have a few small light holes after 2 years of rocks and bugs, but hey, they were only about 20 bucks. They were a little tricky to put on though. Takes patience.
Here's a pic;

Some of the lighter vinyl colors also let some of the light shine thru......

Most places off of ebay with the vinyl gives you black to go on the bottom for free. I just got some black vinyl s style for my sxt and they look just like the fiberglass ones. cf only looks good if you have cf stuff on your ride.

I had 3 layers of white vinyl on mine and the light still showed through ... so I ripped them off and I'm getting black.

That why you were suppose to go with black 1st than the white and you would have no light showing through.

Black matches my racing stripes so I'll just go with that .... white didn't look to great anyway.
