This guy is making eyelids for my solara. He was asking about the market for them and wanted to know who would buy them? so my question is how many of you ll would like eyelids for your solara's and he will also do them for camrys but wants to know what year will be demanded the most?

im not sure they even look that good on a solara, maybe if it was black not clear, would probably look into it.

eyebrows are supposed to match the paint color of the car.
i'm sure those picts are just to show what they'd look like. and the finished product will be color coded. if done correctly, eyebrows look awesome on a car. if they turn out nicely, i might be interested in a set.

yeah, I think they'd add a nice accent.... did he say he was looking into turn-signal mirrors? I don't think I've seen them for Solara's.... does anyone make those yet? I'd definitely be down for a set!

I think it won't look that nice on a Solara. I tried photoshopping one onto mine.

What about a BMW type of eyelids? I dont like the straight cut. It looks useless. If you're gonna put eyelids, might as well put something that enhances the headlights' shape not just shrink it :roll:

Eyelids are nice accents to a nicely decked car. If you get us a group special (meaning 5 people here intrested) what are the pricing on those...and i'm assuming they are unpainted pricings, right?

I was chatting with my cus' abroad...he was talking about light guards (what he called eyelids)...and he told me that there they use these guards cus' the aftermarket lights have a higher cut off line than OEM's and thats one reason they use it in Asia....don't know if this is true or not..but thats just another theory!
