Thats unlucky Andy,

your car is one of the nicely modded stivos on here, its BANKAI standards B) :lol:

but i can't believe they did you for your eyelids... talk about petty :(

went to get a road worthy and they got ripped off...the law recons if the eyelid covers any bit of the hi beam part of your light it becoms illigal

although it sounds petty.. i cant argue with the principal behind the defect.

if something is considered unsafe or "illegal", we should at least get a warning to get whatever the problem is fixed. i cant agree with an instant fine unless you were acting like an idiot on the road.

on the other hand, mods are never done by accident and ignorance shouldnt be used as an excuse if you didnt know it was illegal. (by no means am i suggesting you are ignorant and1.. im speaking in general.) basically.. in the end you just gotta respect the law.

id at least shave away the section that covers the beam.. otherwise remove them all together.

Send Topstage an email about them. Regarding the Legality of them, if they are an authorised seller and reputable company, im sure they would know the ins and out of the legal system of eyelids.

I still have to put mine on. Honestly i think that if ur bonnet was Silver and your eyelids are 1 piece Silver, it would have not grabbed the attention of the Police and maybe not gotten defeceted.

your joking right ? any reputable seller would laugh at you. Your putting **** on the headlight that obstructs the beam, every1 knows its illegal. Dont want problems with cops? dont mod your car!

Nice stab there... I agree with the bit on eyelids but if someone likes the two tone look on their car then by all means.. i mean i like it and all... u can call me bias but heck its personal taste. If you dont like it fine, not everyone likes a roof rack either fyi..

you cant please everyone with every mod you do...

I'll let you boys know but you'll have to find your own part number coz it will be different.

Just an update.

Got the cai, HIDs and oil catch can in earlier.

only problem is that the hose isn't strong enough and is crumpling under pressure so will have to find a reinforced hose tomorrow.
