Yep, I bought mine from them. It would be an easy job and you would get a bad price from anyone else doing them... Get modding! A can of OEM paint runs 13-14 dollars for a 5 oz spray can. Or you can order it online for a couple bucks cheaper.

Did you decide on the thin or thick eyelids? I'd like to see some side by side to compaire! I really haven't figured out the difference!

Mine were a little thicker than normal..heres a link to what I got..Not sure how I feel yet as I am going for a classy look as opposed to an aggressive one...Moderate amount of chrome on Silver/Grey FTW !!
