    I got at least another 8 hp per lid for my Tacoma. Look on my page for the Dyno.

    thumbs down. I think they look silly.

    But the producer of this product is laughing all the way to the bank.:D He probably made the bug shield...another joke.

    This. I will buy some regular ones soon. For some reason having the grille line just end at the headlight looks wrong to me. I want to extend the color match grille all the way across to the fender.

    It's called capitalism. Find a niche, come up with a product, go into business for yourself, sell shit, make money. Yes, only in America, it's what it's all about. The free market will cull out what's of use or not. All products can't be winners and one man's trash is another's treasure, like your 1500.00 chunk of fiberglass sittin on the back of your truck. Those folks got fat bank accts too. Not everyone cares about having an overpriced camper shell. Not that there's anything wrong with them but I have no use for one at this time just like you have no use for eyebrows. But as always, everyone in America is welcome to their opinion and free to spend their own money as they see fit. Thanks for your service so that all the "only in America" can continue..........

    I like the regular eye lids. Like others have said, it makes it look like a continuation of the grille. I am getting these soon.

    I like my v1 t-rex's. I don't like the v2 or v3. They look too bulky to me. I didn't color match them like eveyone else though. I sanded them down, primed them and painted them with a textured paint for a little different look. I'm goin to paint the lower valance on the bumper with the same paint to match

    I like these on this truck. Subtle because of the total blackout and the line matches up to a different line in the grill. IMO, either are OK depending on what else is going on. They look best to me when they try to blend with the rest of motif instead of contrasting with it. These look annoyed or serious vs. angry, lol.

    Did any of you have problems with them fitting exactly over the top of each headlight? The form is right, but the ones ive received are uneven towards the top. I know its not going to be an EXACT fit because they're not an OEM product.... but it looks like i'll have my fair share of sanding to do. Just curious, thanks.

    x2..I've been considering taking my T-rex off and trimming it down to streamlining it with the grill but somedays I'm ok with being angry. But definitely won't go without eyelids though. Our HL are too 'bug' eyed to begin with.

    Use 3M like meckley said. Just make sure you use the thin black 3M with the red backing, not the white 3M crap
