I like eyelids, depending on the car (have them on my GTI) but I dunno about them on a beetle. I'd google to get example pics so you can see what they look like before you buy.

I retract my previous statement.  Those are not eyelids.  Stick to OEM+ look if you want to avoid flaming, lol.

Definitely better, the light-up eyebrows seem retarded. But why do you want such an angry bug?

Something wrong with the headlights you got? I'd say upgrade them to OEM projectors if you do anything. Throw in a joey mod to spice things up too. Besides, the wiring in the lights looks chinzy.

You bought a New Beetle. Seeing how that was the only successful market the NB found, you can't bitch about it being a chick's car . To give it a more masculine feel: shave it and slam it. Slapping on cheap ebay lights just makes you look gayer. If you put forth the work to make it look like you want it to, people will see it. If all you do is "accessorize" and swap out parts like a Honda on APC crack, people will see that too.

It involves body work. You take off anything that is "extra" (eg badges, wipers, spoilers, lights, door handles, antennas, etc.) and fill any holes/seems in body panels by welding them or with body filler. All of this is followed by a respray of the worked over parts. I'm not sure what all is on the hatch or hood of the NB to be shaved, but try picking up some spare body panels to shave before attaching anything that is a more permanent part of your car. Doesn't matter what color or if it has some dings, you're doing body work already and can fix imperfections before you paint it. It's very satisfying when you take your time and do it right, but can be frustrating at times.

Disconnect the eyebrows or make them turn signals and yeah, that wouldn't be bad. I like the look in that car, but maybe that's because they remind me of the older WRX "frog eye" headlights.

And an RSI kit would definitely make it more manly. And cool!
