Looking great mate. All you need to do now is put in LED reverse light replacements as well as the indicators.

Unfortunately, I still stand by my word with the chrome surroundings. That's a personal opinion though.

Thanks guys. For the indicators, I have ordered the chrome bulbs to make them invisible inside the lens, I don't think am gonna put LEDs in there or the reverse spot, as these are bright enough, actually mich brighter than the factory indicators and reverse lights due to the design of the lens.

After giving the Rolla the wash it deserved from the dust of yesterday, I have added a bit of chrome to it ;)

This time, I scored a chrome self sticking strip like the one used on bumpers and applied these strips to the front grille to make it stand-out a bit more

The chrome adhesive strip fits perfectly in the existing grooves and I think it looks nice.

Also fitted mud-flaps which I got from Toyota for $73.00 bucks a set.

Like your LEDs and the interior :)

Can you tell me or send some pictures regarding how are those bonnet gas struts are being attached to the car and bonnet?

Best regards, Alex

Hi Guys,

I haven't seen these on any ZRE Sedan in Sydney, so it is my pleasure to present a ZRE with EYELIDS ;)

These eyelids are made of a very thin layer of fiberglass and are hand-made in the US. Takes about 10 days to manufacture them and they arrive primed, so all I had to do is get them colour-coded and attach them permanently to the headlights using Sikaflex.

I reckon they look awesome and transform the front of ZRE perfectly :)

Nice eyelid mate.

I am surprise that it looks pretty good. However I don't think I will get them, as I am not really a big fan of them lol.

Can't wait to hear about your future plans.

Jalal, also forgot to ask, where did you get your real spoiler from?

Was it from SSV, Talon or Toyota? Cause I am planning to order mine in the next few days, but not too sure where to get it from lol.

I had the chrome garnish on the headlights before that and from the day I got the ZRE for my wife, I didn't like the "scared" look of the ZRE sedan and the way the headlights were extending to the sides, so the chrome surround garnish helped reduce that a bit because I couldn't find any eyelids back then, but with the eyelids I believe that scared type of look of the ZRE front is gone and it looks much more aggressive. ;)

The spoiler is from Talon. Supplied, painted and fitted by them as well.

Oh awesome, out of interest how much did they charge you for the entire thing plus fitting?

Cause Talon is like an 10min drive from work, also was wondering what was their turn around time from ordering to getting it installed?

Jalal, just realised that your spoiler is slightly different to the OEM Toyota one. The Toyota one has clear LED cover for the brake light.

I will give them a call tomorrow to see if they offer that.

Can't remember mate to be honest as I ordered heaps more stuff for them at the same time, this job was only a small part of it, so not sure how much they charged me for it (if at all). Yes, the LED in my spoiler has a red lens. I prefer that to the clear one, goes well mith the LED tail lights I have.

It takes them about 4 days to have it painted and they can install it on the same day. It's pretty easy to install, but I don't like drilling new cars LOL :)

Lol, yeah I know what you mean by drilling holes in new cars.

Unfortunately the red lens won't look so good on my graphite ZRE, guess I will have to get it from SSV.
