You know what -- this sounds good to my mind's eye. Anyone skilled with photoshop care to post a black one with painted eyelids? I just realized, if we paint the eyelids blue and put some red in the grill we can make it look like a painted up "ho" ;-)... lol.

I say leave it alone. It will look funny when your light shines through it. Also does seem a little japanese tuner-ish to me.

i would not paint them...if anything, just try some eyebrows like you see on civics and preludes at times. i dont know if they have them for the 204 or not tho. but definitely dont paint...that's too permanent :o

There was a seller on E-Bay that had vinyl overlays for the eyelids and the light shone through fine but it was black when off. I just did a quick search and he doesn't have anything up at the moment. I think his ID is agressiveoverlay but I could be wrong.

If you want to, pick up overlays from Aggressive. I'll be putting mine on after I get the Lamin-X tinted headlight films.

Different strokes for different folks; it's your car so do whatever pleases you. 
As for me, I'll keep mine the way it is.

Actually does anyone else notice a CLOSE resemblance to the headlights from the 01-05 Audi A4/A6? With the eyebrow painted, its a dead ringer for it LOL...
Now that I've seen it photoshopped, "I say nay nay" ;-)
