Is it better to get the plastic stick on lids or the vinyl ones. Also where would I find a decent set.

dont use vinyl ones. my friend had them on his car for a while and when he finally took them off, the lens had lots and lots of little cracks. the heat from the headlights made this happen cuz the vinyl trapped too much heat.

For plastic eyelids, i don't think procarparts can really fvck them up. I have them on my car too. I really like them.

I had my friend do them for me, and he works at a shop. All he used was some black spray paint (I think 3 coats), and 2 coats of clear coat. You may want to sand them down when you get them also, b/c they're kinda jaggedy, or at least mine were...

It depends on what color your car is... Many people pay to get theirs painted the color of their car. If you can find the right place, painting shouldn't be more than $20...
