The eyelids are actually for a BMW e36 and they were bought from ebay. I chopped them a bit and it was a perfect fit.

Thank you guys for helping me!!!

Here is a picture of my car modded. I used a program called Car tuning studio to do this.

I DO NOT INTEND TO DO THIS TO MY CAR. IT IS JUST FOR LAUGHS

If anyone else wants to change something on his car but he is not sure if it would look nice just send me a pic and I'll change it for him. This is how I got inspired to paint my grill body color

Yes it would look cool but I am not good at cutting and I am not paying anyone else to do this. I do not want to mess my car up. I 'll leave it as it is for now

Not really, a few douches perhaps, but mainly so I could still be a douche with some level of anonymity

LOL

"Prostitution is rife in both the government-controlled and the Turkish-occupied regions, and the island as a whole has been criticised[25] for its role in the sex trade as one of the main routes of human trafficking from Eastern Europe."

It's true that we have many prostitutes in Cyprus but no it is not legal as rivcal4life said. Anyway back in topic now. I am in search now for a cheap used/new rear boot spoiler for my car. Where can I find a cheap one online?
