Hmmm I think it takes away from the eyelids. The more you cut it out, the more it reminds me of my old Protege 5 headlight :p

It gives much performance to my car over the whole RPM range, smoother drive and im sure it brings me HP and NM's, dont know how much, havent been on a Dyno..... and with my Brabus exhaust it has a good sound .

Have been to Germany last weekend, they give a maximum speed of 215km/hour (about 133 milles/hour) for my C180K with auto transmission.... my car was runnig on the GPS 229 km/hour (about 142 miles/hour) and i still had some RPM over.... dont know if it have something to do with the headers....

Now if they can just release them for the W204's M272 engines...

Regarding the eyelid covers, I'd pass. No need to hide them, they're one of my favorite parts on the nose of the car.

Supposedly they are still working on them. Must not be a high priority since they were supposed to be released early '09... I think only the collector needed to be redesigned, but who knows...

Back on topic, I went to the their site and saw another picture with their LED strip fog lights and there was a night picture of it with the eyelid covers on and it looked pretty cool with just a slit of light coming thru the eyelids.

Sorry, but the eyelids are a nice design element.

If you notice, most of the newer cars all have some horizontal surface to their headlight/turn signals. To remove that design element is like intentionally making your car look older, not newer.
