Here is the stock grille blacked out, except for the vertical strip. But you get the idea.

They're called eye-lids. And like Zorro said, you have to customize them to fit your headlights.

They don't look right IMO. I like the subtle change in headlight height, not the rounded, less aggressive look of the 94-95, so I went custom with trial and error
