Pre-Facelift- Headlight "Eyebrows"

Well, I've been wanting to do this for a while, so I grabbed some scrap matt black vinyl and went to town! This is mearly a proof of concept and will not be staying on the car since it doesn't match, but I really like it and will be buying some gloss black vinyl to do both sides. I followed the hood line and spaced it to where there is an 1/8" line of orange illumination when the blinker is on. Should look really good at night!

*I know the car is dirty...I'll be washing it later today. I've worked 48 hours so far this week as of last night...enjoying my lazy morning off.


Ehh...



Very nice! Sexy time!



Stock, lots of orange



Eyebrow, no orange with blinker off



Lights on, no blinker



Lights on with blinker



What do you guys think? I've never seen anyone do this before on this car, at least not in this way.

For some reason it looks like a 2010 Honda accord sedan.

No hate ( you know I like your car), it's just feels like you want to do a cannonball.

This looks good on your car. Nice mod

(I don't think it would work as well on my silver as it does on your black)

I think I need a glowing-lights view that reveals the shape of the modified "eyes" before voting. I think it would look kind of japanese-idol in nature, but don't know if that would be good or bad.

I will say that I prefer pre-facelift w212. Post facelift can leave me with 92 Firebird nose-itis. Just doesn't quite work with the sharp angles.

I did this about 3 years ago when I wrapped all the chrome trim in 3M brushed titanium. I used Vivvid medium smoke tint on the headlights and have always liked that it helps the hood line to flow down to the grille. Incidentally both products still look great today. If it's your car do what you like!

Kinda reminds me of a Saab for some reason, I think it works better on the facelift w212
