Go to a sign shop, and ask for some scrap vinyl.. probably sell it to you cheap, or just give it to you.

I've seen people use electrical tape, on black cars, but that's just ghetto...

exactly what i did, and it cost me $4 for a square foot piece which left me enough to do the eyelids a few times over.

paint them on, and them 3 little nibs that are on the light, you can dremmal them off, then polish them, then paint your eyelid. it will look great. ive donr it and turned out pretty impressive.

i guess its easy for me cause ive done it a few times and it always came out good. i do recommend you have a little talent to do this. you have to know how to buffem out with the right polish. a steady hand to cut off the nibbs, and your golden.

bahh, you're all wrong, do it right, get them moulded into the hood, only way it will look good on a 1st gen

If someone has a template for them I have a Vinyl cutter to make decals so I can make them for you if a shop there won't do it for you or doesn't know what you're talking about. Shouldn't be a problem with a template and some dimensions

i think doing the extended hood look is better:

this is just a photoshop (suzq) but there are a few who have done it

it looks way more aggressive than stick-on eyelids

with depos you would lose alot of the high-beam output, but how much do you really need the high beams with depos?

Probably the best pic i have of my eyelids, never really came around to take pics of em. But i had the full on headlight covers (like those rear like covers to make em look black ya know) and just did some 5th grade measuring, cut it with a wheel, sanded the edges cause since the wheel spins fast it melts it a little since its plastic, then threw some black spray paint on em. 3m 2x-tape on the back sides and pushed em on the headlights, been holding up great ever since (about mid last summer).
