I'd look cool if it covered the whole headlight. That'd be sleek if it was the same color, but you'd have to take them off at night.

I like those that were photoshopped. That's nice looking smile.gif

If Shark Racing sold some similar to the photochop I'd get in line for them. It makes the Tib look pissed that every other car is a Mustang, Camaro, or Civic.

Damn I wish I could find my PhotoShop CD so I could reinstall...

Maybe someone can beat me to making this concept. I'd like to see what those covers would like on all four round openings. Or, a second / better thought, a cover that blends in the cross-line across both lights on either side. Dig? Maybe it even has two more pieces that taper off on the corner lenses.

So where can you get eyebrows for the first gen. Tibs. I really want them but can't find them and the whole vinyl thing I don't like 1) it discolors over time 2) you can see the lights threw it unless you double or triple it 3) and the color never matches right. Thanks for the info guys

Looks to me like they are painted on. Your body shop could do this for you. You only need to get the paint code to match the colors.

Jaws99..see my step 2 above.

Basically, you can order some clear GTS headlight covers from any auto or rice store. What you'll want to do then is either get a power sander and just the sand the things down until you get the thin strip. OR, if that's way too much sanding, since headlight covers are just plastic, go somewhere that can cut plastic. Draw on the covers where you ould want them cut, and you should be all set. Basically, any shop that can cut plexiglass (like a regular glass shop) should be able to do this for you.

Once you get the head light covers cut, just prime, and paint. That way, once you do all this and install them, you're able to remove them if for some reason you don't like them after time. To install them on your car, just get some velcro strips.

If you have other questions, email me!

Beleive me I've tried that already and it looked like ass the clear headlight covers they make for the Tib come about an inch and a 1/2 away from the corners when put on. I iknow there is someplace that makes them and also a different kind of cover too it's like a pre cut mask. I just can't remeber where to get them it was on here once before where to get them but I forgot and can't find the post. And as far as having them painted, although it might not look bad if that is what was done but what do you do when you go to sell the car spend $300 for new housings, not worth it.
