Title: opinions on eyebrows please!
Post by: B318M42W on June 24, 2009, 07:18:59 PM
Hi everyone, I just finished my first pair of custom eyebrows and i'd like to have opinions & critics.

Hey, I think its a little too much eyebrows.  They give the car a droopy look, like its about to fall asleep.  Of course in the end its your car you can do what you please.  I like to keep it stock and add a little things here and there to embellish the look.  I think its taking over the entire face of the car.

Also... the left one looks a bit higher then the right one???  good luck

To add to Zilla's quote, Uh are they supposed to be that low? I actually like them. I would say to trim them up and paint them the same as the car. Also to help that look you might want to get the 'IS lip spoiler. Its bigger and hangs lower. Looks good. Late.

If it's one thing that I can't stand-that's to have my car looking like all the others, nice for your first time project--keep doing what you're doing:>)

I don't think eyebrows look good.  You should just go with euro grilles - that's enough eyebrow to give your car attitude.  But good effort, at least you made them yourself.

I personally like these cars when they have clean stock exteriors, but good job on doing the work yourself.

If you face the hood of your car and look at the eye-brow on the left, you could take them both off and take a sheet of thin cardboard paper and trace the left eyebrow as close as you can.  Then cut that shape out, then put it on the top of the R/eyebrow and mark the lines and shave it down to match the left.

it's mostly an illusion, as the right one is a lot thicker than the left one. it has a ton of bondo to get an even finish, and i rounded out the bottom. the left one is pretty much flat from the start, less bondo filling. but it's a good idea (i used a .025'' aluminum sheet instead of cardboard.)    yeah the bumper does look good!
