Hm I'm interested to see how this turns out...

VW guys take the "eyebrows" look to a whole new level with bozer hoods that come down over the headlights...they rip on guys who only get eyebrows haha
you're right about that, Jon. Some cars pull the look off really well... others, well, dont. this one looks nasty.

i always laugh when people call my headlights ricer. as said, if you like them who cares. I think they look awesome

I seem to be the only one on the "ban that word" list. I cant stand it but its inevitable. Snapped two pics with the phone, couldnt go back any further because its not the best picture taker...

Its pretty hard to tell how they look because I have to trim the hood to close it and the bumper is black... hard to tell how it looks with how all the parts are.

^^I think the headlight brow looks great but the corners look a little.. forced.. I guess. Its different but im satisfied for thinking outside of the box a little.

I think itd look better if the corner lights didnt like go down, but instead like swooped up or something. Make it look less stoned, imma pass out now and more grr imma angry horsey.

It looks like it's falling asleep. Honestly, I liked your heads before, but I always hated the lid thing, it makes the car look tired lol. Your car, make it different :).

I can see that too but its just how the brows were cut. I already trimmed some from the side and the top, so the way they are placed are higher than intended already. I can see the "sleepy" look but I am diggin the uniqueness as of right now. I think the shape of the corner lens also plays a role in how they look. Going to leave it be for now though.

Thanks for all the opinions.

Its def unique and really not too shabby looking either, it was just an idea. I ALMOST want to grab some and play with them like how I was saying, just for giggles butttt I'd really want body color and that just isn't possible anymore lol.

I think you should just do one side. So it's winking at people when you go down the road

I would have to say they wouldn't look too bad on a black car.

It kind of looks like the car is sad... lol

It could look better if it was paint matched, but I just don't think that our cars have the body lines to pull that look off effectively.

Get out there and take more pics!

Car is in the shop getting the finishing touches on the engine. When I get the car back and I finish the other side, I will snap some pics. Sanding is just so damn boring..
