Tl eyebrows

Just some input I've just finished making the eyebrows for the TL. Now so you know it's just hanging on so please don't mind the aligning on it. I will post some more pictures later on today showing both sides. Hope you guys like it.

^IMO it will give a better idea when painted...and from a better distance...with lights turned on

Good job on the creation !

but I don't see the point of eye brows on TLs since the headlights already look good. Small and sleek

Looks like you put a lot of time into them. I'm sure they will look good painted. But in all honesty, what is the point of they eyebrow? What does having them do? Purely aesthetics?

I like the style of the brow. But like mentioned, get it color matched and some other further from the car pics.

Agreed. It's just look. Not specific reason. Just bored, love the car and here I am starring at it what else can we do to this car? Having the ability is where I am, I guess you can say it's like a free lance photography.

In fact it is, because that's my plug. Just painted in white for demo. How ever I just made a new one in Fiber glass and i will be painting it shorty. It has to be flushed against the light and not thick.

They seem kind of bulky, but I'm anxious to see them painted too.

looks good! I like it, seems that you do some good work.
I made several sets, in different styles, once... Didnt make a plug/mold, i used the headlight itself as my plug xP. Was a tough job (im still learning).
I think adding a slight slant going downward by the fog looks the best. Adds the look of some added aggression...

I like your design, i never thought of doing it like that before!

As much as i like 'em, and othe brows, i actually now prefer the TL without brows. But hey! Seeing your work (and a pic of bforbrians with tape) makes me feel like fabbing a new eyebrow/lid!

eyebrows? are trying to make a face on the TL? have u seen the Disney Movie "Cars"?

they look nice, but it looks like it obstructs the headlights from exposing light, which could be dangerous at night.
