You really cant go by pictures fully. Things could look much worse in pics than they are in person, or look better in pics then they are in person. I have a skin piece, Its not the thinnest skin out, but its somewhere in the middle. For the front hairline its not bad surprisingly. Sometimes its as invisible as lace. Sometimes I like it better than lace because u dont see any grid patterns at certain lighting conditions. Why skin looks better on some people and not others, i am not sure. Maybe its the way they attach it, what kind of glues/tape they are using, and maybe it has something to do with skin color as well. For me personally its pretty good. And i havent even tried the thinnest skin thats out yet.
