Yes the eye pieces are suppose to be like that. They were sanded down and glossed over so that they would have a white overlay hue to it. This causes the light to be distributed across the eye hole evenly. This was mentioned way earlier when my project began and was something I have done to every faceplate. Without it, it causes the light up feature to not spread across the eyes evenly.I received mine today and it looks really cool for the most part, but are the eyes supposed to be white? It still looks great when it's lit up, but when it's not it almost looks solid white and doesn't match my other Iron Men or the pictures in the first post. Just wanted to know if this was an intentional choice.
And thanks again for putting this whole project together!

I remember reading about the sanding, but I don't recall the white overlay. In any case, I just took some 400 grit sandpaper and sanded the white off. Now it fits right in with the other suits when unlit while retaining the positive affects of the light distribution. Of all the Mark VII faceplate options, I think this is the best one out there, none of the other ones fix the big gap in the mouth, which to me is just as important as the eyes.Yes the eye pieces are suppose to be like that.

If you're not a fan of it being too white, you can take some fine sand paper and sand the eyes some more. Simply pop out the eye attachment from the back of the faceplate and then sand down the eye piece itself to make the white softer.
