Lots of things worse than eyelids I guess.

Like wings and those fake brake rotors you put on inside your wheels...

you lose!

i can find a spoiler, might not be a double decker, but something less dramatic that can enhance the visual aspects of the car.
i can also find a fart cannon muffler, that could possibly improve performance, without disrupting the aesthetic flow of a car.

but i dare you to find eyelids that will make the car look (or perform) better.

What about those stupid lights people put where their wiper fluid shoots from.

Taking out a very useful item like a wiper fluid sprayer and putting in a useless blue light to me is pretty stupid.

i think its just a LED on the washer nozzle.
i don't think they lose the functionality of spraying washer fluid.

Eyelids on a car look stupid. No, actually, they look ghey.

Speaking of eyelids, and kinda OT, does anyone remember the original Neon's? I always thought that they looked like they were smiling at you. :)

On cars with round headlights, they actually look pretty good.

I think that was pretty common impression. If I remember correctly they had a PR slogan that went "Say Hi" because the front of the car did resemble something saying hello to you.

While it's not the ugliest ricer mod by far, it ranks right up there with the stupidest of 'em. Let's do a mod that cut's the beam pattern by 10-30%... It'll look KEWL. If it's too dark at night, they can make up for it by running their highbeems more often. :|
