Headlight Eyebrows

grrltoy · 05-09-2002, 09:36 AM

I saw a couple cars online with those headlight eyebrows. I think it gives a whole new look and am thinking about possibly getting them. Painted, not carbon fiber. Has anyone had any experience with them? I want to make sure I get a good set (brand) No cheap crap where the light shows through. Feedback is appreciated..

wisconsin and we made up import illusions. What do the other member of import illusions have for cars? I bought mine at Advance Auto parts and then bought the paint and clear coat and painted them myself.

no problem i'm glad i could help.

the painting process ir really easy, sand it clean it and then i put 6 light coats of milano red paint and then 4 coats of clear coat and they look perfect. insted of usinf the 3-m adhesive i used some silicon adhesive gel stuff from a hardware store and it worked a lot better. i didn't want to lose and eyebrow and good luck with the eyebrows. if you have any other questions post them here or pm me i will get either one.

Will do!!! Thanks!! Oh, also, can you gat spray paint in Honda colors? I have a can that matches from when I had work done on my car, but i think spray would be a better idea.

what color is your car? i got my paint in a spray can at Autozone for $4.00 and the little can was more then enough to get the job done.

It's either milano red or roma red. Can't remember. That's cool. I can match it up. I just thought you had found honda spray paint. I was like, "Awesome!" Cool. That'll do. Thanks so much for all your help!!

I made my eyebrows with adhesive vinyl I got from a sign making place. I just bought a roll of the stuff for $10 or something, and cut them out. This way you can make custom shapes, make them bigger or smaller depending on your preference. Just a thought, it beats spending $40 or more for them.

this is an old thread and vinyl eyebrows suck ass you can see light through them and my eyebrows didn't cost mw $40 either they were on $15.

taking that one a little too personally...relax huh? just giving a suggestion to save some cash, and you can be creative with the vinyl too. i double layered mine so no light shines through. some people have complained about the eyelids coming off, the vinyl sticks well. and yes it was an old thread, but how does some more input hurt? don't take people's suggestions so personally, nowhere did i insult you or anyone.
